Mr Bean - The Animated Series - Vol. 2 DVD

Advantages: entertains the kids
Disadvantages: not brilliant, not that funny, more cute than funny

I'm sure everyone will remember the hilarious sketch series done by Rown Atkinson as Mr Bean that took the nation by storm in the 80's and early 90's. However he must feel that his looks have faded and has decided to hide behind the newest comedy snippet programme for kids ' animated Mr Bean'. Really I don't mind, and i'm sure that other won't either how ugly Rowan has got, he is and always wil be, a comedy genius. The introduction of a cartoon Mr Bean intrigued me and so bought the series on DVD. I wondered whether it really was rowan attikinson doing the voice of Mr Bean, and of course 'teddy', as it really doesn't sound like him at all and it wouldnt be surprising as the odd grunt and whimper can be done by anyone. The basic and gody colours are also a let down. They make Mr Bean look tacky and very childish despite being modern ...

Extras - Series 2

Advantages: Genius comedy
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

Well?I've done The Office Series 1, 2 and Xmas Special. I've done Extras series 1. I've dried up on Gervais/Merchant sitcoms?that is until last Monday, when the 'critically acclaimed' second series of Extras arrived in our shop windows. Any good though? You bet! Series one saw Gervais manage to get the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Stiller, Patrick Stewart, Kate Winslet and of course Les Dennis to appear in a comedy about an television extra, Andy Millman (played by Gervais) who's a desperate man, doing whatever it takes to get himself noticed. At the end of the series, he'd successfully written a script about a workplace with an annoying boss (yes?the link with the Office is apparent) that the BBC had commissioned. Now we needed to know whether or not it would be any good? With things looking to be on the up, they're instantly ...

Blackadder series 2

Advantages: VERY FUNNY
Disadvantages: NOTHING

Black Adder. Here we again follow Rowan Atkinson who is simply superb and I hope you get a sense of my enjoyment from the following review of the second series Black Adder ran for 4 series but this review is about just the second. The second series was set in the 16th century and follows Black Adder as he sucks up to queen bess and nearly, on several occassions, loses his head. He and his manservant, the wonderfully dopey Baldrick set out to grab as much power as he can. If he can survive the treacherous court goings on and if he can survive Baldricks attempts to "help" him! Series 2 ----------- 1.Bells 2. Head 3. Potato 4. Money 5. Beer 6. Chains The combined writing skills of Curtis, Ben Elton and Rowan Atkinson is simply sensational. The comedy and witty lines come thick and fast. It is ...
