French & Saunders - On the Rocks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always been a fan of Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French; they are the funniest actresses in the world, bar none. And after four DVDs were released of some of their best sketches, I was sure that this was all that was going to be shown in America. But, I have been proven wrong, for here is the first of two new DVDs being released by BBC - DVD! Clearly, you can see that this DVD will include the hilarious special for "Titanic" but it will also include the spoof on "Making-of" documentaries that is hosted by Jennifer Saunders co-star Joanna Lumley from "Absolutely Fabulous"! At this moment there isn't much information on what else will be included, but in a recent BBC America cataloge it stated that this DVD will have 4 1/2 hours of F&S which is quite a lot more than the other DVDs, which usually run for not even two hours! So, it seems we might be getting closer to having nearly every moment from the long-running series avalible here in America! Mark your calender, because French and Saunders : On the Rocks and Back with a Vengance will be released on March 1st! Also, on a side note, if you want a copy of BBC's hit soap opera "EastEnders" (which will be released publicly on March 1st as well), you can find a copy on the BBC America Shop website for sale...right now! It has been on sale there for almost a month already, so if you want this copy you can get it on bbcamericashop.com before most! If only they would do it with these DVDs.....

The Funny Blokes of British Comedy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I watched this when it was on PBS a few months back, in fact, during the show I whipped out my laptop and went to Amazon to search for it. It wasn't there, but I'm so glad BBC decided to release it. Hosted by Lenny Henry, it highlights the best of all my favorite British comedy actors, including John Cleese, Richard Briers, and John Inman. Great purchase, well worth it, will have you remembering all those great moments watching britcoms.

Experience again Basil Fawlty, the sharp-tongued, short-tempered owner of Fawlty Towers, and the quiet humor of Lionel Hardcastle (As Time Goes By), the once dashing young Army officer. Remember Father Dougal (Father Ted), the priest oblivious to anything outside of his always-sunny world; a character that Ardal O'Hanlon modeled after a dog. And who can forget the two words from Mr. Humphries (Are You Being Served) that can always make you smile, "I'm free!" Revisit these and many more of your favorite characters. Join host Lenny Henry (Chef!) in honoring the careers and contributions of Britain's funniest blokes with clips of their funniest moments and new interviews. DVD Features:BiographiesInterviews:Extended interviews with Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Ted), Geoffrey Palmer (As Time Goes By) and Richard Briers (Good Neighbors)

The Funny Ladies of British Comedy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is well-done, pleasant entertainment, but provides no revelatory insights. Certainly, these are funny ladies worthy of recognition.
The clips are on the short side, and the documentary runs for little more than an hour. The extras are somewhat interesting extended interviews that in some cases duplicate what's in the documentary.
So, all in all, a DVD worth renting for a few chuckles, but not one most of us will want to buy for repeated viewings. By the way, almost all of the shows highlighted in this documentary are on DVD, so if you own those sets, then there's little reason to pick this up.
