Amazon.co.uk Review

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."

Series 3 includes: "Lovers" in which Gary becomes worried that he hasn't slept with enough women; "Bed" in which Dorothy and Gary experience problems in the boudoir ("What's the matter? We always have sex after I've cooked for us. That's why I do it."); "Casual Ties" in which a depressed Deborah decides to sell her flat and go travelling, while Tony fails to cheer her up by impersonating different types of Cheese; "Weekend" in which Tony gets a job at The Crown; "Cleaning Lady" in which Tony reconsiders his professional options ("I could be an escort." "What, a car?" asks Gary); "Marriage" in which Gary joins Dorothy for a candlelit dinner ("Why she couldn't find a restaurant with proper lighting I don't know"). --Clark Collis

By A Customer
This DVD is great! It includes all of series three but has many extras such as interactive quizzes where correst answers are rewarded with out-take clips!This is definately the best series of Men Behaving Badly. The cast are acting at their best and the storylines are fresh and funny. If you're going to buy a Men Behaving Badly DVD then I recommend this series.A must for your DVD collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Series 3 - when it started to get good, 22 Aug 2003
This is when MBB went from being an okay comedy to being a very good (if not brilliant) comedy. The BBC started showing it after 9 o'clock, which meant the lads could start to behave like lads, and not like Zippy and Bungle. Neil Morrissey had found his feet, whereas in series two he was very much the new boy. Martin Clunes really came into his own in this series - his sarcasm, his loathing for everyone and everything, makes him a modern-day, twenty- to thirty-something version of a cross between Edmund Blackadder and Alan Partridge. And like those two, he always comes off second-best. Dorothy is as scary as ever, and Debs is still trying to avoid Tony at every verse end. This is very good. It's not the best (series 4 and series 5 are better), but it is very very good.
