After hearing that there was a DVD based on my favourite comedy programme was available I decided it would be a good idea to give it a go. I got the DVD expecting it to be full of mostly out takes that would not be used in final edit of the show. Instead I was a little disappointed that for a large part of the film was filled with parts that had already been aired and the actual extras you would expect came after the parts that had already been aired. So for the majority of the DVD it showed what any person who had seen most of the episodes had already heard. The extras were also quite rude, which is why they probably weren't aired, as there was a lot of 'f' and 'c' in many of the extras.
Aside from the fact that much of the DVD featured parts that had already been seen, the rest of the extras were indeed very funny and I ended up in hysterics at many of the jokes. Also, I thought the DVD really did a lot of good for Andy Parsons and Russell Howard, as it is Frankie Boyle who is normally the most outrageous, but in many of new footage it was Russell and Andy dropping to Frankie's level.
Overall, I really did enjoy the DVD but I would have to say that because a large amount of the footage I had already seen, it meant I knew exactly what was coming and that didn't do any justice for the DVD, otherwise I would certainly have given it a 10/10. I would recommend buying this but I would probably look for the cheapest price you can get because if you already know the show well it becomes too predictable.
Quick summary: Could easily have been 10/10 but I would have to give it a 8/10

(+) Because of the new series the box set isn't complete, which means it will be cheaper! (-) It isnt the complete box set so you'll have to buy the new dvds seperatly or wait for the new set!
