Advantages: funny, good value
Disadvantages: none

...has changed over the years and is in keeping with that. I enjoyed watching both series of Extras but personally thought the second series was slightly better. I highly recommend you give it a try. If you like The Office you will love this!. ... Read review

Advantages: Very Funny
Disadvantages: Should have more extras.

...The Office. Now the Extras story is of Andy Milman (Ricky Gervais) ,an extra who wants to make it a bit further in his career and have a staring role rather then just be in the background. He spends much of his time trying to get seen by various famous faces so they can put in a good word about him and he can further his career. He befriends the very sweet Maggie (the equally lovely Ashley Jenson) who is also an extra, though she tends to have a ...
...Bowie. On the DVD extras front, it would of course be deeply ironic if a show with the title it has, did not have many extras but thankfully its not the case. I mean theirs not as many as big blockbusters often have but a decent selection. Firstly, over at disc 1 you have a documentary entitled 'The Difficult Second Album' which is an informative and amusing look of behind the scenes of the making of The Extras. Then we have 'Taping Nigel' which ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant.
Disadvantages: Can seem unbelievable that Andy would put up with his useless agent and friend.

This brilliantly funny comedy tells of a failing 'actor', Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) attempting to work his way up from a lowly extra to a fully-fledged actor. Unfortunatly, his agent, Darren Lamb (Steven Lamb) is grossly incapable and spends much of his time trying to get Andy's jobs given to 'Barry off Eastenders' (Shaun Williamson). Andy is always accompanied by his friend, Maggie (Ashley Jensen) who is infuriatingly stupid. Each episode features ...
...Chris Martin turning up for a 'Save Africa' campaign and asking for the slideshow to contain an advertisement for the new Coldplay: Greatest Hits album instead of dying children. Another features Orlando Bloom incessantly boasting of his popularity with women, his good looks and supposedly sensational kissing technique. The viewer feels an attraction to Andy and can't help but sympathise whole-heartedly when things go wrong for him yet again. Written ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Storylines
Disadvantages: Gag Reel

...Fantastic value for money....the whole series on just 6 discs! Better than series 1 & 2 of One Tree Hill, as the packaging is smaller, because there are 2 DVD discs in each case (Rather than 6 separate cases like series 1 & 2 ). This makes it easier to store on shelving. When you look on the extra features of this DVD box set it says that there is a "Gag Reel", but to be honest it did not make me laugh! I thought with 3 series of One Tree Hill filmed, and no "Gag Reels" on the other box sets that there would be more bloopers, however, it only showed a few. And one was in a foreign language! One Tree Hill follows the lives of brothers, Lucas and Nathan Scott, and their friends and family. Nathan and Lucas share the same father, Dan Scott, however they have different mothers. Although the two of them are brothers, they grew up... Read review

Advantages: (wet your self funny)
Disadvantages: Offencive and Crude

...I bought this DVD ages ago, i love it. If you up for a laugh, whether its a night in or a bored evening on TV watch this DVD. There of are offers everywhere for this DVD, you can pick all three series up for £20 now. The series will be on 'telly' soon so buy this DVD watch it and then your up and proper for the new series. I loved this DVD so much i couldnt stop saying the quotes from it, the characters are very well structured and Seth the creator is from Kent so you know its got a little british humor in there somewhere. When you buy it, tell your friends to buy it, you will love it so much you will want more. The DVD content isnt much, its just the episodes and thats all. When you buy the box-set with series 1, 2 and 3 in you will get extra features on an extra DVD. The characters can be very offencive in some places. I wouldnt... Read review

Advantages: Easy to watch, light, British comedy.
Disadvantages: Only 2 series!!

.... Basically, Dinnerladies is just a very light comedy requiring not a lot of brain power to enjoy. Easy to follow but, I imagine, restricted in it's appeal. If you like Victoria Wood and enjoyed her in Acorn Antiques, you will enjoy this. I personally adored this series and was delighted to find this box set in a local DVD store for only £9.99!! I've watched it from start to finish overnight and the old jokes I giggled at 6 years ago continue to make me giggle. I continue to be exasperated watching Tony and Bren just miss getting it together on numerous occasions. I still howl at the comic genius of Julie Walters as Petula and am genuinely moved at the more serious parts of the show (Stans father dying, Brens battle with her conscience where her mother is concerned.) This DVD box set contains 2 DVDs (series 1 and series 2). Neither has any... Read review
