Advantages: episode 4- The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox
Disadvantages: every other episode

...Series 1 and 2 of the Mighty Boosh were amazing- nearly every episode was original, hilarious and generally brilliant. So when i heard that there was going to be a 3rd series i was very eager to watch it on BBC and every episode for me was highly anticipated. But when each weeks episode came around i found that they were no longer original or funny at all. Alot of the episodes used material seen in previous ones and this, as you can imagine, isnt funny. Its unfair to say it was all bad but there were only a few lines in each episode that made me chuckle which was the complete opposite for Series 1 and 2. The episodes in series 3- 1- Eels 2- Journey to the Centre of the Punk 3- Power of the Crimp 4- The Strange Tale of the Crack Fox 5- Party 6- Sammy the Crab DVD extras- Cast Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Outtakes These are all fairly...

Advantages: Everything about this program is excellent!
Disadvantages: Its not on often enough.

...With the success of series 1 and 2, Shed productions are guaranteed a huge following for their upcoming series 3. It is believed to be returning to our screens around April next year with even better storylines than before. The main characters, Helen and Nikki are set to return but expect a shake up of the rest of the cast. The series ended in August with a major cliffhanger; Nikki escapes from the prison to visit Helen in order to apologise to her. After a night of passion we are left wondering whether Helen will turn her in to the authorities or whether she will escape with her to San Francisco........ Read review

Advantages: Even better than the first series
Disadvantages: The character changes are almost too major to be believable

...does not seem to grow much in this series, which is something of a disappointment but also provides a sort of benchmark, showing how far everyone else has come, and he hopefully learns some important lessons. Darker and even more brilliant than the first series, Nip/Tuck series 2 is well worth the money. 16 episodes, each approximately 45 minutes long (they are 1 hour on TV including advert breaks) and you will be watching them again and again. If you loved the first series, you will adore this. If you haven't seen the first series, it is advisable to watch it first as a number of plot points carry on from the first series, but it is probably possible to enjoy this even without knowing all the previous events. Buy both box sets and you can watch them while looking forward to series 3 (US transmission starts September 2005, UK... Read review

Advantages: A Laugh a minute
Disadvantages: Its coming to an end!

...! But from series 1 through to series 9... we see a lot of weddings including a drunken one in Vegas...a lot of babies including 3 triplets carried by Phoebe for her brother...a lot of divorces mainly by Ross!... and most of all a lot of laughs! In every series there are 6 videos, each with four episodes on. Now it can be expensive to collect each complete series but I usually wait until its my birthday when someone else can buy one video for £12.99! (- price varies but I have found thats the average) or wait until Christmas when most shops will do a 2 for £10 offer. (This is a really good offer because you can buy the whole series a lot cheaper than buying the box set!) As I said there are 9 full series out on video and are generally suitable for older children. The video certificates range from PG - 12 ( I think there are a couple of 15's... Read review

Advantages: excellent series,
Disadvantages: none

...To recap from my other review, to explain the characters: Tucker and Garvey, Dave and Donna, Paddy and Nancy, Tony and Joy. These are the couples that grabe you right from the first series and take you through the next five series. (Series 6 and 7 were never so good once Tucker and Garvey had left). It was an excellent series and very fresh and new when it first arrived. Written by Lucy Gannon. It brought together Robson and Jerome (who can failed to have missed their hit single Unchained Melody!). Dave Tucker played by Robson Greene, Donna Tucker played by Rosie Rowell Paddy Garvey played by Jerome Flynn Tony Wilton played by Gary Love Joy Wilton played by Annabelle Aipson SERIES 3 The Kings Fusiliers are now the Kings Own Fusiliers after merging with another regiment. They are on exercise in New Zealand. Tony Wilton takes... Read review

Advantages: Funny, Hilarious, hours of entertainment.
Disadvantages: May be too expensive for some.

...I bought South Park series three on video about a month ago know and I cant stop watching it over and over. It is so funny. After the first two series I was expecting south park to become a littl "old hat" but this defintley is not the case. This new series which retails for around £40 includes 17 epsiodes including "Sexual Harrasement Panda", "Starving Marvin in space", "Chinpokamon" and "Cat Orgy". Every episode made me roll with laughter. I know South Park may not be every ones cup of tea, but anyone who has seen the original series and enjoyed the antics of the South Park crew, must watch this. The 3rd series is a definite must for any fans of Cartman out there, as this series is a serious Cartman fest. I took these videos round my friends house a week or so ago, and they wont let me have them back, it is that good!... Read review

Advantages: Fun,witty,exciting,dramatic and the box sets are relatively cheap too!
Disadvantages: Season 4 was a let down

...What can i say about these box sets? if you want to watch fun,witty,dramatic,emotional characters in brilliantly thought out storylines (other than series 4 which was a bit naff) coupled with excellent fight scenes,buy these box sets!!! series one was one of the best as youre introduced to the main characters and taken in by the tragic relationship between buffy and angel but this is eclipsed by the superb series 2 in which angel turns evil and throws the whole storyline on its head! i personally think this is one of the better series as joss whedon is able to make the audience feel the whole range of emotions-sadness,betrayal,happiness,shock,and laughter. Series 3 was a bit of a comedown after the shocking finale to series 2 but with the introduction of faith (the new slayer) and the hygiene obsessed mayor its still one of the best... Read review

Advantages: brilliant story line crazy camera angles
Disadvantages: some might not like the graphic sex

...This life was truely a masterpiece. It crosses the line between a soap opera and a drama. The acting was brilliant and the production was amazing. I loved the crazy camera angles that suddenly zoomed in on the faces during scenes. There was really graphic sex and drug taking which made for brilliant viewing. All the actors brought out their character magnificently especially the woman who played millie. They recently repeated the 2 series which absolutley made my summer, I can't believe there going to leave it with that cliff hanger, there simply must be a third series. No it should replace Eastenders. period.... Read review

Advantages: funny, new take on bo selecta
Disadvantages: some might hate it.

...Bo Selecta returns for yet another series of the spoof celebrity interviews and celebrity stalking. It features a whole load of new celebrities covered in latex as per usual. In this series there’s new celebrities including Kat Slater Moon from EastEnders, Jordan (Katie Price), Justin Hawkins from the Darkness and even Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. It seems anyone could be next to take the wrath of Avid Merion’s latex masks these days. There is of course still all the old favourites from series one and two in the from of Michael Jackson, Mel B, and who could forget everyone’s favourite Craig David. This series differs a little as Avid takes on the role as a chat show host and actually interviews some real celebrities. It also sees the introduction of the character Keith Lemmon, who is Avid’s agent... Read review
