From Amazon.co.uk

The ultimate small-screen representation of Loaded-era lad culture--albeit a culture constantly being undermined by its usually sharper female counterpart--there seems little argument that Men Behaving Badly was one of 1990s' definitive sitcoms. Certainly the booze-oriented, birds-obsessed antics of Martin Clunes' Gary and Neil Morrissey's Tony have become every bit as connected to Britain's collective funny bone as Basil Fawlty's inept hostelry or Ernie Wise's short, hairy legs.

Yet, the series could easily have been cancelled when ITV viewers failed to respond to the original version, which featured Clunes sharing his flat with someone named Dermot, played by Harry Enfield. Indeed, it was only when the third series moved to the BBC and was then broadcast in a post-watershed slot--allowing writer Simon Nye greater freedom to explore his characters' saucier ruminations--that the show began to gain a significant audience.

By then, of course, Morrissey had become firmly ensconced on the collective pizza-stained sofa, while more screen time was allocated to the boys' respective foils, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash. Often glibly dismissed as a lame-brained succession of gags about sex and flatulence, the later series not only featured great performances and sharp-as-nails writing but also sported a contemporary attitude that dared to go where angels, and certainly most other sitcoms, feared to tread. Or, as Gary was once moved to comment about soft-porn lesbian epic Love in a Women's Prison: "It's a serious study of repressed sexuality in a pressure-cooker environment."

Last Orders includes: "Performance" in which Gary and Dorothy decide to have a baby. Tony announces he's moving in with Deborah so he can watch her "wandering around in her pants"; "Gary in Love" in which Gary's devotion to Dorothy is tested while attending a middle-management conference; and "Delivery" wherein Gary and Dorothy prepare for imminent parenthood. --Clark Collis

The DVD version also features a movie version which combines all three episodes, plus a quiz.

5.0 out of 5 stars British Sitcom Genius 14 Nov 2004
Format:DVD
Men Behaving Badly is one of the greatest British sitcoms ever made. After six magnificent series and a Christmas Special it was all over, or was it? When everyone thought they had seen the last of Gary and Tony, these last three specials were shown on BBC One. As with the series, these last tales of blokeness are fantastic! This is without a doubt some of writer Simon Nyes best work, of course fans will know that after MBB he went downhill at a fast pace (The Savages, etc).
Quite simply, if you've already collected series 1-6 and you've got the Christmas Special, then what are you waiting for? If you haven't collected series 1-6 and the Christmas Special, then get off this page and do so right now, you have to own a peice of television history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Men Behaving Better 4 Dec 2003
Format:DVD
A welcome final addition to the Men Behaving Badly collection. ‘Performance’ is the weakest episode of the bunch, however – the cast’s performances seem forced and uncomfortable. This episode is followed by ‘Gary In Love’, however, which is one of my favourite episodes of MBB ever made. Tony and Gary’s drunken antics in an abandoned and freezing November Worthing are hilarious, and unlike ‘Performance’, the episode has a strong story to support it. Finally, ‘Delivery’. A groundbreaking episode this – a sitcom involving a birth without huge amounts of unfunny sentimental mush. The ending wasn’t as final as I would have liked, though… leading us to believe that we would be seeing more of these characters in the future.

The DVD itself is faultless – The menus are clear, and the picture is so good that you occasionally long for a softer focus to be spared of the cast’s pores!

In short, if you enjoyed the first 6 series, buy this DVD today!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of all of them 13 April 2009
By Joburg
Format:DVD
Jane Austen, in all her novels, never wrote a scene where only men were present. Her reason was that she didn't know what men talked about when ladies were not present. Just as well she never saw "Men behaving badly" .... this last series was utterly delightful, with more of the wonderful Caroline Quentin than in most of the episodes.
This really must be the end of the series with the closure of the office, and a new baby. Well worth watching and quite a few belly laughs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lost its sparkle ....
I found the final series of MBB, no 6, had lost a lot of its sparkle and orginality. I suppose this often happens when you have too much of a good thing. Read more
