Format:DVD
This is the most depressing programme ever made. Here is why you must buy it: the nightmarish portrayal of New-Labour Britain in Monkey Dust is so extremely shocking and ruthlessly bleak that you sometimes wish you could just dismiss it. Yet the way it manages to ring true throughout makes for deeply disturbing and always compelling viewing. The fact that it is consistantly hilarious as well is an incredible achievement. Monkey Dust demands repeat viewing and remains just as good each time. Absolutely essential. Come on BBC, put series 2 and 3 out now!
N.B. To the reviewer who said "the creator is seventy something", you're a fair way off - Harry Thompson sadly died last year at the age of 45.

Great DVD I have already seen every episode of monkey dust series 1 and 2 and am glad to own a copy of the first series.
Series 2 made it from BBC3 to mainstream BBC2, After watching the first series I am not to sure if they would have got away with showing Series 1 on mainstream tv as it crosses over the line slightly more.
Overal this must be the funniest program I have ever seen especially Ivan Dobsky the meat safe murderer
And of course no surprise to see England manager Sven Goran Erikson in the crowd!.

Dark, surreal and brave (comedy about a chat-room paedophile anyone?), this is simply one of the best Britcoms in recent years.
The DVD loses a star, though, because of something that is quite commonplace on BBC releases - for contractual reasons certain music edits/changes have been made, which is something that annoys the hell out of me! (See also Big Train and Fast Show Series 3 amongst others).

Possibly the edgiest show I've ever seen. More, please!
WARNING: This show is not for the faint of heart! No, really: it's edgier and more pointed than a shuriken, sharper than a scalpel, and potentially more offensive than the smell... Read more

Best thing ever???
Monkey Dust is an incredibly dark, satirical cartoon series. A slice of British life circa 2003-2005, the characters include; 'divorced dad' who kills himself in each 'sketch',... Read more
