Advantages: Insite into a factory kitchen/canteen
Disadvantages: It makes your sides hurt (through laughter)

Dinnerladies - The complete first series. There are no extras on this DVD. This is the funniest series that I have even seen, I can relate to this programme in so many ways, as being a chef myself, you had to start somewhere, and when I first saw the first episode, I was hooked. Mondays - the first episode, well you know yourself what its like, getting up for work on a Monday morning, when you would much rather just stay in bed, well there they ...
...you hear a voice " shutter's up , lets feed the faces of folk', well that did it for me, you knew he meant business, that was Tony, Catering Manager, he's the one in the white overall, who's always got something else to do. Just as they are about to start serving lunch, this woman from Human Resources appears, and tries to get the kitchen staff interested in country dancing. Royals - Stan the Cleaner finds out that a Royal is to visit the factory, ... Read review

Advantages: Slightly amusing, and watchable
Disadvantages: Storyline unbelievable

Bridget (Diane Keaton) and Don (Ted Danson) are living a reasonably well-off life in a nice house on a nice street in a nice part of town. But when Don loses his job and the two fail to curb their spending, maintaining their nice lifestyle soon results in them running up a nice lot of debt. Forced to get a job, but with no recent experience or skills, Bridget rather unbelievably ends up scrubbing toilets in the Federal Reserve Bank. Now this is a ...
...to many hundreds of security checks, but, again, rather unbelievably, within moments of arriving, Bridget has found a foolproof plan to rob the joint, if only she can convince fellow employees Jackie (Katie Holmes) and Nina (Queen Latifah) to assist her. This is the one good part of the film - that instead of the usual blokes-doing-crime while the women folk sit at home and maybe come to rescue them in the end, it's the girls who are the naughty ...

Advantages: A glossy addition to the teen movie genre.
Disadvantages: It's hardly original.

...version of Christopher Otcasek's "Real Wild Child" is a crime against music. "Wild Child" is a film that will find its greatest favour with its intended demographic of young teens. It's a fun stab at the teen movie genre with enough action and non-threatening totty to entertain all but the most jaded fourteen year-old girl. The performances are also lively enough to stop accompanying adults nodding off. It is by no means original, but I have seen ... Read review

Advantages: Funny- great entertaiment
Disadvantages: None

...out giving too much away the prison scene is so funny and the trouble these guys get themselves into is just hilarius and cringing at times.

This boxset is a must seeif you love comedy and that's what this seriously is. Best British comedy since Only fools ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: Very offensive

Ricky Gervais' Politics DVD is a fantastic piece of stand-up comedy. It is pretty offensive most of the way through and so not for the easily-offended! The opening should be a big clue. There is a pre-recorded sketch of Ricky Gervais outside Parliament poking fun at someone in a wheelchair. Ok I made it sound bad. In actual fact the man in the wheelchair is his fellow producer on the Office. But if you didn't know this (and I didn't) you might find ...
...show as though it is a series of lectures. The topics are all serious enough but do not stand a chance of remaining that way at the hands of Gervais. Some of these include: Alzheimers, Stephen Hawkins, Ghandi, Hitler, Holocaust, Slavery, Famine, AIDS. EXTRAS A frightening insight into living with Gervais - made me feel slightly uncomfortable, as his oddness did not seem to be put on. Quite frightening but fascinating! Also there is an interview ... Read review
