4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but not what I expected..., 30 Jul 2005
By Ben Ripley (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love French and Saunders and I am always on the lookout for new releases on DVD. I have bought all the titles from the U.S. as well. When I learned of this release in the U.K. I was excited to read...

"A compilation of what Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders do best: mercilessly funny spoofs. Baywatch, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Misery, Silence of the Lambs, Alien 3, The Piano are just a few and all are truly hilarious"

...and so I was expecting a DVD of all these clips, perhaps taken from the two part BBC compilation of the same title.
However, I now have it and was disappointed to find out that it was exactly the same as the U.S. release. (Also the same as the BBC video 'The Best of series 4')
This means no Baywatch, no 'Baby Jane' and no Piano. Plus a myriad of other sketches.

However, as a compilation, it still serves as a decent smorgasbord of entertainment with some of the best moments from the duo's fourth series. Personally, I would prefer complete episodes, series by series, but for now, this should satisfy the appetite of anyone who hasn't bought the U.S. editions.

2.0 out of 5 stars BBC Does it again! (Disappoint, that is), 4 Oct 2007
By Georgie Pillson (London, England) - See all my reviews
Yes, unbelievably, with an archive which would be the envy of commercial TV stations throughout the world, the BBC manages to dig into theirs and produce an extremely mediocre compilation.

Why would a compilation with this title omit their best movie parodies (Exorcist, Whatever Happened to Baby Dawn, The Sound of Music etc) yet include lots of sketches which are not remotely connected with the movies?

I am a strong supporter of the BBC ethic and its method of funding - but some of their efforts on the commercial front show a distinct lack of sense. Instead of funding new series of F&S - which ceased to be funny some time ago - they could exploit the back catalogue to the benefit of those who remember their peak years, and fund more innovative new programming instead which wouldn't get a chance on commercial tv.

Instead, I can only dream of "French & Saunders: the early years" or even better "The complete French & Saunders" DVDs. Still, no doubt these titles would be as misleading as F&S at the movies or the many "Best of..." BBC compilations which are anything but.

2.0 out of 5 stars Give us the good bits, 5 Sep 2005
By Mr. J. Milton "jambo234" (Brighton) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Unbelievably disappointing. Had seen it was due to be released and looked forward to it as I thought that it would include everything they have done recently - Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Tipping the Velvet - which have been some of the funniest television moments ever. Didn't have any of them. A lot of the material is really, really, old and not particularly funny.
