'Go the whole hog,Mog!' 19 Dec 2000

By Music Lover

Format:VHS Tape

Well, what have we here? Quite simply the finest 50 minutes of Welsh comedy since Ryan Davies first said 'And don't call Will on your Father!'. I wouldn't expect too many people living to the right of Offa's Dyke to get what it's all about, but those of us who have enjoyed so many tours (particularly to watch the boys lose in Paris), there is a quintessential Welshness that soars from the screen in this affectionately scripted and wonderfully performed slice of life.

This is probably Windsor Davies's finest hour as Mog the Tour leader, who insists on reminding the boys that they are 'ambassadors for Wales', in the city where 'you'll see it all, kid'. No review of Grand Slam would be complete without reference to Hugh Griffith's portrayal of Caradog Lloyd Evans - the eyebrows are as expressively unruly as when he picked up his Oscar for Ben Hur and the relationship with Glyn ('I'm used to his smells') is surely reminiscent of Albert and Harold Steptoe at their crotchety best.

Sion Probert's Maldwyn ('I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere, so beware!') hits the mark as the high camp boutique proprietor, whose window tribute to 'the boys' means so much to him. The supporting characters come straight from a weekend with the committee and supporters of quite possibly any Welsh rugby club, even today.

I have waited over 20 years for this to be released. Now that it's here I'll be snapping up a copy or two for fellow exiled Welshmen - simply brilliant!

A Fusion of Steptoe & Are you being Served on Felinfoel 4 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Format:VHS Tape

"I've heard of a caterpiller turning into a butterfly, but....", Mr Lloyd Evans mumbles as he eyes his long lost war time French lovely. Meanwhile the antics are reaching a hilarious climax with Mog (Windsor Davies) sparking a madcap bar room brawl in the Parisian brothel.

The whole film lurches from one hilarious moment to the next, live footage of the actual game simply highlighting the realism of the Tour mentality that seeps through the beer soaked pores of the film.

Everything you want from a film - Welsh heroes, rugby, fighting, brothels, even a bit of flesh as a bonus. Maldwyn himself provide a decade of one liners.

The only thing I don't like about the film is the actual lack of a Grand Slam - still Glyn manages to get a result.

Grand Slam 15 Sep 2006

By Craig Fisher

Format:DVD

In my opinion Grand Slam is the greatest hour of television ever made. The characters are played perfectly and the one liners will have you laughing from beginning to end. If you enjoy superb comedy which you like to go back and watch time and time again then this is a must see for you.
"Im here, Im there. Im everywhere, So beware!

I would agree with the majority of reviewers. Yes, it is dated but nonetheless fabulous.

It does have the spirit (albeit stylised) of an old away trip. Read more
