DVD Description

Two very different blokes. One small flat. One huge apartment block. It's bound to go wrong, isn't it? Especially when one is morose, sullen and mean-spirited and the other is a bright-eyed innocent with a lot to learn about life. Far from expressing the depressing and futile existence commonly associated with high-rises, 15 Storeys High reveals the many idiosyncrasies and hilarious antics of the diverse residents. There's the man who uses his pitbull as a dumbell, the table-tennis obsessed brothers, the over-the-hill punks and the country and western poet who also fixes washing machines. And of course there's South London's very own answer to the Odd couple, Vince and Errol: a match truly made in heaven.


Synopsis

One of the BBC's cult TV comedies, this sharp and quirky series is written by and stars British Comedy Award winner Sean Lock. He's locked in a high-rise flatshare with another bloke on a South London council estate. But he's the landlord and his lodger Errol (Wong) is making his life a misery. What's more there are other hilarious oddball occupants in the block to contend with, from the wife-swappers and bible-bashers to the guy with a lodger of his own, a horse! Contains all six episodes from Series 1: ‘The Sofa’, ‘Pool Kids’, ‘Blue Rat’, The Model’, ‘Ice Queen’ and ‘Dead Swan’.

5.0 out of 5 stars If it's your sort of show you'll love it!, 14 Jul 2007
By Mrs. Susan Cabell (Maidstone, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I own the first series of Fifteen Storeys High on DVD and have seen all of series 2, it is one of my favourite comedies and I am greatly dismayed by the BBC (allegedly) not allowing Sean Lock to make a third series (or another different show for that matter), for he is a great talent and I can't imagine why he doesn't have a larger TV/Radio presence on the BBC.

I can understand if some people may not enjoy this show, but they can not deny the quality of the writing and the unique, quite dark feel that Sean Lock has produced.

This show is the complete antithesis of the Little Britain/Catherine Tate-style of comedy that relies on repetition. These shows leave you knowing what is coming up and boring you, unless the writers actually develop the characters or have enough characters, which helps keep them fresher for longer(the Fast Show).

I personally rate this show 5 out of 5, but it is really a cult masterpiece that some will love, some will not get and others will hate and if you have an "alternative" sense of humour like me and don't like Little Britain, Catherine Tate or Two Pints of Lager you will probably like this, a show which has it's own identity, an individual quality and some great laughs from one of Britain's premiere stand-ups.

To give you an idea of what comedies I like, so you can see how likely it is you will enjoy Fifteen Storeys High, my favourite shows are the Mighty Boosh, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Alan Partridge, the Office and QI: Quite Interesting and anything involving Jeremy Hardy, Mark Steel and the late, great Lind Smith R.I.P.

5.0 out of 5 stars about time, 19 Feb 2007
By M. J. Dolan "willie_dynamite" (manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A perfect comedy series. Not a single gag falls flat in twelve episodes. Why the BBC buried it in the schedules in favour of round the clock Little Britain marathons I'll never understand. I'm not even particularly annoyed that they're making me buy series one again just to own series two. It really is that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 1 Feb 2007
By S. Hiel "jimbobaggins1" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Finally! After trolling through different sites looking for any news on series 2, Its fantastic to know It is actually gettting released! This programme is without doubt a masterpiece of television in my opinion and is criminally overlooked. I would rate it up there with the likes of curb, seinfeld and the office.
