[Highly rated reviewer]

A fantastic piece of television, well acted by everyone in the programme and it keeps the 'spirit', of the oringal series very well!

Not for me

By Leftyboy (10 reviews) , 13 Mar 2013

Really enjoyed the first disc but found the second rather dull. To be honest the original is far superior just annoying that you can't rent it!

One Track Mind...

By a customer from London, England , 31 Jul 2006

I only watched the first episode of this series...because I wanted to see the episode with david tennant in! It was a great episode and set up the series well. The characters were well established and the premise of the series given a good start. I enjoyed it.

Again, surreal

By les reed from east London UK , 16 Jul 2005

Just as with the first volume, a good effort but not the same somehow.

Reeves and Mortimer - good as they are - don't carry this off as well as Kenneth Cope and Mike Pratt: it was perfectly good enough without the special effects that modern actors are so often dependent upon - although Reeves and Mortimer stand on their own as good entertainers.

Worth a watch.
