Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

I am a huge fan of this show, consistently funny week in week out and by all accounts a ratings winner from the BBC. So I was quite excited when I received this as a Christmas present. However, the DVD is a bit hit and miss to say the least. The good points are that you get to see the comedians and guests in the time that is the pre-show; banter with each other and some members of the live audience. Some of this is extremely funny, especially Russell ...
...show due to the bigger personalities on the opposite team. What I didnt like about the DVD, which accounts mainly for my paltry three stars is that some of the content is just OTT in the offensive stakes. Dont get me wrong; 'too hot for tv' gives it away but nothing could have prepared me for stuff that comes out of Frankie Boyle's mouth such as "that fu**ker has got cancer" when trying to guess a newspaper headline. There is enough footage from ...

Review of Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

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. ...
...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 ...

Review of Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

...of you who don't know, mock the week is a weekly political comedy panel show even though you wouldn't notice the political side of things as much as you would of other shows in its field! Im a huge fan of the show and have been since i watched my very first episode of it! its very easy to watch and will have you in stitches guaranteed!, week to week they have new contestants who are famous comedians to give the show a new appeal each time while keeping ...
...play through different games to score points and win the game, these games include guessing the title of headline just from initials and on the spot stand up, every game is different and helps the show flow well! The show does get away with broadcasting a lot of, lets say 'on the line of appropriate' jokes but now we have been provided with even more that they couldn't! I managed to purchase the dvd for just £7 which is a bargain from amazon.co.uk. ...

Review of Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

This DVD is for people who can laugh at absolutely anything, the stuff in this DVD some of it can make you laugh so hard that you will miss the next line or the next joke. My favourite people in it are hugh dennis because his jokes are extremely funny and the faces and actions that he uses along with the jokes must make him one of the funniest men on the planet at the moment. Frankie Boyle is easily the best character in the DVD. This is because ...
...jokes about some of the harshest things. Sometimes his jokes are rude or even offending but you don't care because they are so funny, another thing about Frankie is that he always laughs in a really funny way and he can add a joke or say something funny about something randomly, hes the kind of guy you would love to have around you because laughing is good for you and if he was around you constantly you would be very healthy. i highly recommend this ...

Review of Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

Mock The Week is my favourite programme on tv. It has me in stitches every time i watch it so when my dad got this dvd off one of his mates and gave it to me i thought: "Yes, no more being down" because it is impossible to keep a straight face whilst watching this programme. In my opinion, everyone on this show is a comic genius, even the host Dara O Brian is funny. My personal favourite is Russell Howard. The actual dvd itself is 3 uncut episodes ...
...scenes that were just too rude, offensive or outrageous for BBC to have broadcasted. Every time i watch this dvd i crack up. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone because for a price tag of about £20 it is well worth your money and you will never get tired of watching it. Even my little sister is hooked on this dvd. If you're going through a bad time and are feeling down, this dvd will do wonders for you. ...

Review of Mock The Week - Too Hot For TV (DVD)

Mock the week 'Too hot for TV' contains all the best scenes from the 2007 series (series 5), whilst also including some of the other moments that couldn't be shown on the BBC or any other station because of taste/decency issues and sheer outrageousnous (In which most of these comments/observations are made by Frankie lol). With nearly 3 hours of coverage, this think is unmissable for any Mock the week fan. For those unfamilliar with Mock week, it ...
...The Show is hosted by Dara O'Brien with 2 panel teams which are made up of regulars Andy Parsons, Russell Howard, Frankie Boyle and Hugh Dennis. Two guests are then invited each week to make up the teams of three. Guests in the past have included Michael McIntyre, Ed Byrne, David Mitchell and Al Murray. ...

...line is it anyway comes Mock the Week!!! This DVD made my day when i found it on the shelf as i had no idea that it even existed! I love mock the week and so this DVD was excellent as it showed bits from episodes i had seen but with all the added swearing and offensive jokes that the BBC wouldn't let them show!! It was fantastic!! And, in addition to 20 scenes of pure comic genius, you get the top 3 episodes of the series as an extra with all the ...
