this is just the best thing, i remember all these sketches very well, i just forgot they were all part of the same series, Burwhale,You You You, Alan, Weve had lots of letters, its all great stuff i reckon back when Steven was sillier and a seeming life time away from Hugh's right narky Doctor House ( its only a bad leg COME ON!), i cant be alone in thinking this light years away from the russ abbott inspired likes of Little Britain, for my money they were much funnier than Pete and Dud too. I watched Armando Ianucci's stuff recently too and it was certainly clever and as satirical as all heck but it left me flat(flatire?)like chris morris too there is an air of meaness , this Fry and Laurie series had me giggling like the fool i was and am.embrace the clever silly.Cheers !

I initially held off buying series 4 as memory recalled that it fell far short of the highs of the previous excellent 3 series. Although they did adapt a slightly awkward special guest feature, if you give it a chance you will see that many of the sketches still manage to be brilliant and Steven Fry's hilarious play on words has rarely been better. Although this series did get a lukewarm response when it originally aired, giving it a re-run shows that it is well worth having all 4 series. Was this review helpful to you? See less

Synopsis Tony Richardson continued in the vein of kitchen-sink realism with this adaptation of Shelagh Delaney's novel of working-class life. Set in England in the early 1960s, A TASTE OF HONEY stars Rita Tushingham as the waifish Jo, a plain 17-year-old girl who is dragged from one shabby bed-sitter to another by Helen (Dora Bryan), her promiscuous, alcoholic termagant of a mother. When Helen and her current lover, Peter (Robert Stephens), take a holiday in Blackpool, Jo goes along and, while walking on the beach, meets Jimmy (Paul Danquah), a black sailor on leave. After they spend the night together Jimmy's ship leaves for points unknown. Helen and Peter have impulsively decided to marry, and they move into his flat, leaving Jo in the cold. She gets a job in a shoe store, where she meets gay and mild-mannered Geoffrey, and the two decide to move into a flat together. Jo soon discovers she's carrying Jimmy's child, news that depresses her. But Geoffrey couldn't be happier, and he... See less

"Absolutely" was, without doubt, one of the funniest and most refreshing comedies of the late 80's, and still holds up well today. Although most of the cast are Scottish, the humour transcended nationalism far much better than Naked Video. Featuring regularly recurring characters such as "Mr. Don & Mr. George", the residents of Stoneybridge and the Nice Family, the show was a surreal mish-mash which appears to being picking up more and more (deserved) comparisons to Monty Python as times go on. This is a hidden treasure that should be compulsory viewing for anyone that loves top quality comedy! Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) See less

I loved season 1, but Season 2 bested my expectations by leaps and bounds. It's better-produced overall, down to the lighting and cinematography, the music is breathtaking, and the performances, especially by Lesley Sharpe, are award-worthy. This is one of the rare times where the sequel is better than the original. It's actually SCARY -- like, "avert your eyes" scary -- and really well-written. You can't go wrong with this one.

I wasn't going to watch this at first, but I heard Richard Fleeshman talking about his character having Aspergers and this is a subject close to my heart so was curious. Thank goodness for I-Player, I managed to catchup on the series. It was brilliant. A funny, sad, touching story with great chorals - I would love to join their choir. I really hope there is a second series as there still feels like a lot of stories to tell. Also, look out for Richard's album Neon - he is an incredible singer. See less

With memorably unsettling opening credits and exceptional performances and direction, Armchair Thriller became a massive hit for Thames Television in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

DVD Description Around the World in 80 Treasures is a riveting story of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge. Dan Cruickshank's quest for this enlightening TV series is to tell the story of civilisation through the greatest of man's achievements. It is also the story of his travels, and who and what he meets along the way.

Do they live up to expectation? Have they been left in ruin, or over-restored? Along the way, Dan reveals his most intimate thoughts and feelings about the people he meets, the ups and downs of the journey, perils, joys, and the ongoing relationships formed on the road.

Big nothing tells the story of a teacher who has lost his job (Schwimmer) and needs to find another one to bring in money to support his wife and daughter. He settles for a job in a call centre for the time being. Here, he meets Gus (Pegg) and his life takes on a very strange, new direction. There are some genuinely funny moments in this film and I am surprised it is so relatively unheard of. Maybe the distribution company just didn't get it, and therefore its marketing budget was virtually non existent. Both the lead characters are on good form but there seems to be a lack of chemistry between the two of them. There are numerous gags along the way which are mostly amusing rather than hilarious. Most of the comedy is very dark and as the plot revolves around numerous dead people this is very fitting. There are so many twists (some painfully obvious, some less so) that any time the film appears to be running out of steam another is thrown in to keep you on your toes. Overall the film is...

This is without doubt the greatest film ever filmed in Yorkshire - Bradford and a bit of Leeds ( and a short scene in Oxford Street). It has no faults, so rare for any film. This was the film that made Julie Christie into a star, however she was not the first choice. The first Liz was played by Topsy Jane who became ill during the shoot and had to be replaced.

Quite simply this is brilliant. Producing the book as a TV series gave the director the opportunity to indulge in Waugh's lush and vivid text and whole sections of the book are quoted verbatim. And of course, in hindsight, the casting was inspired, with Jeremy Irons as Rider and Anthony Andrews as the rather beautiful Sebastian Flyte. But don't forget such cameo's as Nikolas Grace as the effete Anthony Blanche - masterful! The film I understand, leaves a lot to be desired, so better to buy this AND read the book.

Amazon.co.uk Review Reuniting the "dream team" of director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter (and esteemed director in his own right) Paul Schrader--the men who brought you Taxi Driver and Raging Bull--Bringing Out the Dead provoked outrageously high expectations on its theatrical release. But when this brown-paper parcel of a film was unwrapped by critics and film-goers, the collective Christmas-morning sigh of disappointment was all but audible. Sure, there's lots of blood but where are all the guns, the wise guys cracking wise, the filmic fireworks most people expect from a Scorsese movie? But shake the wrapping a bit and out rolls a tiny, perfect parable about New York City ambulance driver Frank (Nicolas Cage) who finds grace just when he seems to have hit rock bottom. Deprived of sleep, wired on speed of kinds, haunted by visions of a homeless girl he couldn't save, like Taxi Driver's Travis Bickle, Frank roams the neon-spackled streets despairing at the decay around him. He's as... See less
