Basically, this is the Last leg of the 180 date "Mum wants a bungalow tour", playing to a packed Manchester Arena.

If you haven't seen "Live at the Bolton Albert Hall", then this is worth a look.

If you have seen that performance, don't bother with this. The stand up part is practically identical. The running time for the stand up is 45 minutes.

I started watching this and as soon as I got about 5 or 10 minutes into it, I realised I had wasted the best part of £15. The only good part being, I had a gift voucher for £5 which helped ease the pain of wasting the money.

The 'fly on the wall' documentary runs longer than the show itself, approx 55 mins. That is enjoyable and to me was the best part of the DVD. It shows humour and frustration and emotions about the tour.

The Amarillo alternative video was worth watching, as it showed some of the goofs which happen when filming it (such as the Ronnie Corbett fall).

I personally think this was very badly advertised, advertising as "The perfect christmas gift", who for? Universal who released the DVD? Peter Kay? Certainly not for the fan who has the Bolton DVD. It would be the "perfect christmas gift to dissappoint".

I am thoroughly disappointed with this. I am a fan and already have the Bolton Albert Halls, so this may end up on eBay and I might buy the new Jim Davidson instead!!!

If you want to watch this, I would recommend renting it if you have seen Bolton Albert Halls. It is worth watching the documentary Its not so dissappointing wasting a couple of quid than £15.

This is very difficult to give ratings to as it can be judged for someone who has never seen Peter Kay or someone who has seen Live at Bolton.

If you have not seen Live at the Bolton Albert Halls, this is recommended viewing.

If you HAVE seen Live at the Bolton Albert Halls, this is not recommended viewing and overpriced at £15.
