I am surprised no one has written about this yet. It is indeed one of the funniest inventions ever brought to television. Guests come on the show and tell the host, Mark Dolan, what they had been getting up to during the week past. The activities range from Neg's Urban Sports to the Annoying devil's antics. The audience then decide which act deserves the coveted Balls of Steel trophy.
I think Balls of Steel is quite possibly one of the funniest shows to ever be put on tv. With BOS you get a whole array of different ordinary people playing pranks.
My favorite is the Annoying Devil. The looks on the peoples faces when he does what he does!! Neg is a joker too!
See for yourself as i thoroughly recommend this dvd to all comedy lovers! Yes it is rude, and sometimes makes you cringe, but thats the ways us brits like it!
This is extremely funny and will provide you with hours of laughs. BUY THIS SEASON Hope this helps

Interesting review of something I'd never heard of before now. However, I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

Good start to your review although more personal opinion about what you thought of the acting, story line. special effects, soundtrack etc would make your review more useful. If you add more to your review at some point let me know and ill happily reread and rerate for you
