Advantages: A barrel Of laughs All Round
Disadvantages: NO extra-features

...of you who have seen Trigger happy Tv you will know what the big 'deal' about it is. But if you haven't then you are in for a treat!! Trigger Happy Tv is a sketch show where Dom Joly in his different forms plays pranks on unsuspecting members of the public. The pranks he plays are extremely funny and it is hard to believe that some of the people do actually believe he is telling the truth!! My favourite has to be without a doubt the gag with ...

Advantages: Brilliant comedy - worth every penny
Disadvantages: No more series are to be made

...has background information on how Trigger Happy TV came about. However, as it has been decided that no further series will be created, so this is a great chance to experience British humor at it’s best - and nothing can top this bar Monty Python, which itself is nothing short of legend. Also, if you’ve watched the series as avidly as I have and liked the music, then I also recommend purchasing the Trigger Happy TV compilation CD. To ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny, bonus material
Disadvantages: None

If you've seen the superb Trigger Happy TV series on Channel 4, and laughed as much as I have, you'll want to get hold of "Trigger Happy TV - Best of Series One". The main part of the DVD contains about 80 minutes from the best from the TV series. When you consider that the series consisted of six 30 minute episodes, even allowing for adbreaks, at least 30-40 minutes worth isn't on the DVD. That having been said, the best bits are certainly all ... Read review

Advantages: Good ideas
Disadvantages: It's all acting, humour is offensive to many

...every thing you see on trigger happy is all acting - with exception to the celebrity interviews which seem rather convincing.

Even though the whole thing is staged the sketches ... Read review

Advantages: Very very funny
Disadvantages: Does tend to drag on if you attempt to watch it all in one go.

...thoroughly agree with them. Trigger Happy TV: The Best of Series One on DVD is a very funny and very good thing. But, and this is big but, I think it can drag on if you attempt to watch it all in one go. For me the half an hour TV versions were brilliant in the way of time. I just started to get sick and tired of the exact same jokes every ten minutes. I turned the DVD of after an hour and thought that I would try and watch the rest the next evening. ... Read review
