...My friend recently bought this DVD and I think it is one of the funniest DVD's I have eber watched.
It is full of jokes when he is on stage and even when he is touring around famous landmarks all around Britain. A lot can be learned from this man as his general knowledge is astounding.
He travels through England, Ireland and Wales and does a few main acts on a stage while seeing major, or minor, landmarks which are an important piece in the lands history.
There are not many extra features as the main part of the DVD is taken up on two DVD's as it is so long. You don't reolise it is long however because it is so funny that you will only know what time it is when the nurse beside your bed tells you what it is as your sides will be spliting.
There is not much that I can say about the main feature as it will ruin...

Advantages: Good Acting and Interesting Characters Disadvantages: Released in the 70's, otherwise none
...Actors Ron Moody and Jack Wild play their parts very well in this memorable film. Ron Moody is truly funny and at the same time frightening with his many disguises and different characters. Jack Wild plays the compassionate and loving older brother - he loves his younger sister enough to run away to Ireland so she can be truly loved by someone: their grandmother, acted by Dorthy McGuire. They have wonderful adventures on their journey to Ireland and the scenery of Ireland is breathtaking. A nice family film that will put a smile on your face and delight the children, whatever their ages. It deserves to be in the same league as those other classic British films made for family viewing at that period in British cinema history: "Oliver!", "The Railway Children", "The Amazing Mr Blunden", "Black Beauty". I thoroughly recommend this film...

WALES WALES WALES Review ofWales Grand Slam 2005 - The Year Of The Dragon DVDby
mr_kosher
Advantages: highlights of all the games (wins) Disadvantages: only for welsh people
...was won within the first 15 minutes thanks to three tries
Wales 32 Ireland 20 this was the first time Wales had beaten Ireland in Cardiff and 22 years and a cracking performance meant that they completed the Grand Slam. The first time since 1978.
This dvd is a great review of the highlights from each game and a little piece of history. Even if you went to the games worth having in case you were too drunk to remember the full Ireland game.
Running time is over 2 hours and has extended highlights from the Grand Slam Party after beating Ireland...
