Customer Review

Very glad I got the first DVD on rental, to see what it was like. Never saw this when it was first on, but enjoyed 'Lipstick on your collar' so thought I'd give it a whirl. Firstly, £28 for three disks? And each disk with only 2 episodes? That's a real rip off. Even 'Singing Detective' has three episodes per disk. On to the review: yes, it is well acted in places (Bob Hoskins, Cheryl Campbell) but frankly, why would I want to watch something where the actors burst into foggy song far too often? And as to Bob Hoskins' character - he may be frustrated and worn down by life's injustices, but at heart he's also rather unpleasant. So I found it hard to be drawn in. As to DVD extras, there weren't any (on the 1st disk).
