The Comedians - The Best Of The Comedians

We do not have rental rights for this product.

The BAFTA-nominated, mirth filled ITV1 ratings winner, The Comedians, in a compilation DVD pulling together some of the best bits of the hugely popular programme. Having honed their skills on the tough stages against unforgiving audiences in the UK's northern working men's clubs, The Comedians featured more gags in half-an-hour than any other comedy show could muster, with jokes reeled off with rapier wit at lightening quick speed. Featuring stand-up from the likes of Russ Abbott, Jim Bowen, Bernard Manning, Mike Reid, Roy Walker, Tom O'Connor, Stu Francis, Frank Carson and Stan Boardman, The Comedians gave some of the UK's best-loved performers their first platform into television careers. Resolutely old-school stand-up, The Comedians nevertheless won over the nation's affection with numerous jokes about the wife, the mother-in-law, and three men in a bar.

  I thought this was terrible
  
  I laughed a handful of times listening to jokes that were tired, lame and generally unfunny.
