  Cringeworthingly funny
  
  Very amusing with some brilliant cameos, particularly Ross Kemp (who'd have thought it?) and Kate Winslett.

  Disc problem or menu problem?
  
  We couldn't locate the right link to the series, only bonus features such as interviews and outtakes.
  
  Is the Full Menu just too cryptic for me?

  Worth a giggle
  
  This series is good for a giggle and if you like cringe-worthy moments. Ricky Gervais is an absolute genius!
  
  I recommend!

  Dull and overrated: rent something else!
