Having been a fan of Jack Dee for a number of years I was delighted to recieve this DVD for one christmas. What I like most is his dry humour accompanied by his great wit. Ranging from his own experiences to general idiotic things that wind him up. One guy not afriad to speak his mind.
So I've put the DVD in and start to watch it. The opening sequence is alright but doesn't give anything away, except a repitive voice shouting "Sir Jack Dee...." This I can put up with. BUT when the title menu appears and only shows two options I feel a bit disapointed. I'm given the choice of 'PLAY' or 'CHAPTER SELECTION'. No extras. Not the best start.
When Jack gets going the DVD is worth while. I was in stitches listening to Jack talk about his 'show off methods of being sick', 'His dad being a DIY werewolf' or just his pure hatred of 'biro covered youths working at banks'. It is a very funny and original show.
I don't want to give too much away because I feel that any fan of Jack Dee should see this. Yes it's not fantastic, no fault of Jack's, because of no extras. You must bear in mind that this was a 1994 show released to DVD in 2005 so maybe there wasn't any extras. I don't know. If you see this DVD for a reasonable price then pick it up and enjoy a night with Mr Dee.
