5.0 out of 5 stars At long, long, long last! May the next three series be released soon!, 19 Mar 2008
By Doctor Andrew (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
After only, what, seventeen years? the series which must be the best showcase of Dawn French's acting is finally on DVD. My five stars are firstly for the simple fact that this very clever series has been released. Those of us who saw it on TV in Australia and were hooked have - up till now - been treated badly. Sadly, as is so often the case, the local TV stations treated it as a "cult" show and by the time the fourth season was broadcast in 2000 there was no publicity at all, and episodes were shown sporadically at random hours of the day or night. I didn't even know there had been a fourth season until about a year ago! Along with others I have been swapping tired old home-recorded VHS tapes and scouring the net for missing episodes, it seems forever.

I have just opened this package and quickly tested the actual quality of the recordings. Of course they MUST be better than my copies of a frend's off-the-air NTSC VHS tapes from the USA! And yes, they are just what you'd expect from a modern DVD. Another reason for four of the five stars.
I have checked the commentary at the start of my favourite episode, "Mrs Hat & Mrs Red" and while a bit of it is rather lame, it's fun to hear Dawn French's comments on her own acting! The other "extras" are a credit list (interesting, sort of) and some publicity stills (available in better quality elsewhere, and adding little value).
Since the six episodes from the first season have already seen the light of day on commercial VHS tapes, let's just hope that the other previously unreleased seasons make it on to DVD in quick succession.

4.0 out of 5 stars A strong start, 19 Sep 2008
By M. R. Jones "harper2007" (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is one of those shows that you can always remember seeing in the late evening, and never really understand what's going on. But you are always sure of one thing......it's making you laugh....A LOT!

This heralds the start of the "other" solo series Dawn was so well known for. And what an interesting start it is! Murders involving freemasons, cruel Kids TV hosts, it doesn't get any better than this!

Now why only four stars, well that is purely down to the extras. I.e: other than the couple of commentaries they don't exist.

A good buy if you like classic comedy/crime, so lets hope the rest get released soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dawn French at her Best, 2 Sep 2009
By Ben Droffman (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I loved this series when it was first shown back in the nineties. It's still very, very funny - I really hope the other 3 series are released on DvD too. If you love Dawn French's comedy acts then you'll love this show.
