...maka'. A little history; 'Allo 'Allo, which started in 1984, is actually a tribute to an older TV series, Secret Army (1977-1979). Somehow, the show hits the sweet spot between 'incredibly offensive to practically everybody' and 'lovably daft', with its merciless portrayal of hopeless stereotypes and national traits, and of course its famous method of dealing with the language barrier - simply speak with the accent of the language you're speaking ...
...were Jeremy Lloyd and the prolific David Croft, who also wrote for shows such as Hi-De-Hi, Dad's Army and You Rang, M'Lord? I recommend this box set for anybody who hasn't seen the show for a good long time. Beware, though. It is possible to overdose on 'Allo 'Allo! ... Read review

3 Non Blondes was screened on BBC3, a channel that isn't watched by that many people compared to many other TV Channels. However, when i watched one episode of this comical, reality show it caught my attention immediately. The show features 3 big, black women let loose on the streets. The girls dress up and perform on camera with members of the public, who are unknowingly starring in a tv show. What makes this show so funny, apart from the great ...
...shame, is the public reaction to the women. The public's faces are a real treat, and even if you don't find all the sketches featured very funny the public reaction will make you laugh. I loved sitting down, turning this show on and not knowing what was to happen. The three women are so spontaneous with what they do, their personalities are reflected through their public performances and it adds magic to the show. I am aware that the the sketches ...

...is the first series of Absolute Power, originally broadcast on BBC television in 2003. It comes after three series on BBC Radio 4. This is an incredibly well-written, well-acted and artistically filmed programme. Stephen Fry and John Bird are as brilliant as ever, being both excellent actors and also very funny. The lesser-known actors are surprisingly good too, and every episode has a cameo or two to look out for, from people like Angus Deaton ...
...balance, I think this is a wonderful DVD. I have seen it four times since I bought it, and am always finding new things. It was an effort to think of negative aspects of Absolute Power to balance the review. It is my favourite DVD I have bought this year. ... Read review

One of Britain's finest comedy series goes from strength to strength in this third series. The storylines are funnier and packed with quick-fire jokes and gags . The series has some absolute classic episodes, some of the best Ab Fab moments of all time are served up in this third series, especially in the hilarious "Jealous" which is one of the best episodes in the series. In this episode Edina and Patsy are attending an awards ceremony where Edina ...
...bribing the judges still manages to lose to arch rival Claudia Bing. Naomi Campbell also stars in this episode and certainly adds something to the episode as do the other celebrity guests such as Jeremy Beadle, Ruby Wax and Lulu when they also appear in other episodes. Series 3 is laugh out loud funny with some truly classic moments, a couple of episodes don't quite reach the funniest levels but this DVD is a must for any Ab Fab fan and I can wholeheartedly ...
