I rented this a matter of days before the death of Dave.
If you've seen him before and and are a fan then rent it. He's still got it. If you've never seen him before then rent it. You don't know what you're missing. Incredible perception and irreverance.
Dave, good night, thank you and may your God go with you
Dont get me wrong. I am a BIG Dave Allen fan. And the content of this DVD is HILARIOUS.
However, trust the BBC to botch things up AGAIN. Are they EVER going to release a DVD which is worthwhile? I really dont understand what the BBC are trying to achieve with their recent DVD releases.
The content of this DVD appears to be an edited/augmented version of one of the last TV series that poor old Dave made I think in 1988/89 and is absolutely hilarious. To the BBCs credit, they have reinstated some of the stuff NOT shown on TV, but they have cut a lot of the EVEN FUNNIER STUFF which WAS shown on TV. Can anyone tell me why?
WHY OH WHY didnt they just release the series in its entirety (with the extra bits of course) as half hour slots.
If it werent for the fact that what we DO have presented here is a near miraculous example of Daves talent, I would not be recommending this DVD to anyone.
