Format:VHS Tape
Crapston Villas was originally shown on Channel 4 in the mid-1990s and so far has yet to see release on DVD in this country. It's a real shame because the series seems to have hardly dated at all and is just as revoltingly good now as it was 10 years ago.
When originally broadcast the series comprised ten 10-minute episodes but on the video they are all edited together as a continuously running 100 minute piece. This seems like good value but, because it is comprised of a multitude of short scenes, it begins to feel relentless towards the end. Like trying to consume 10 pints of lager in 100 minutes, you need a break or a change of pace at some point - no wonder the second series was split into two separate video releases.
Worth getting though, it's a satirical snapshot of desperate flat-conversion London life, familiar to anyone who lived in Peckham, New Cross, Streatham, Stratford, Walthamstow, Kilburn, Shepherd's Bush ....
