Product Description

All six episodes from the second series of the dark BBC television comedy. Beauty salon owner Jill (Julia Davis) is on a mission to find a man. Pretending that her hospitalised husband is dying, she joins the 'Lassoo the Moon' Dating Agency. When her dates don't come up to scratch, she sets her sights on her neighbour Don (Angus Deayton), a doctor, and develops a very unhealthy obsession about him. Moving in to 'nurse' his terminally ill wife, Jill is determined to seduce him and bring their marriage to a grinding halt. In this series, Jill manages to frame an ex-boyfriend for the murders she committed in the last series, and tries to move into Don's life by seducing his 12-year-old son and claiming he's the father of her unborn child.

Synopsis

The second series of Nighty Night finds Jill (Julia Davis) still obsessed with Don (Angus Deayton) and travelling to Cornwall to find him. Jill discovers the new-age health centre where Don and Cath (Rebecca Front)--under the wing of hippy therapist Jacques--are trying to rebuild their relationship. The multi-award winning success of the first series has led to a second series unafraid to take its black humour into areas of bad taste, while retaining its comedic edge. Julia Davis gives a compelling performance as the glamorous, self-absorbed sociopath Jill, who manipulates everyone she comes across in order to get her way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has its moments but not as good as series 1 18 Dec 2006
Format:DVD
I loved series 1 to bits and had heard from friends that series 2 was much "closer to the edge". They were right. I doubt this will get a third series. Didn't offend me but lots of times it just felt that JD had run out of ideas and went for the most ridiculous plotline she could imagine.

4.0 out of 5 stars goes for the neck this time hey! 11 Nov 2007
By sean paul mccann VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
series two of nighty night truly went for it,more adult,more obscene,more over the top and in doing so lost some of its comical edge,but is still miles better than the more mainstream rubbish that appears on television.
Series two carries on from where series one left off,but is set in cornwall where husband don and wife cath have fleed to start again and get away from the evil clutches of jill,again played brilliantly by creator julia davis,a witch that few can draw comparison too,the lies she tells,the way she manipulates and prods at peoples weaknesses and of course her generosity,as in she buys someone a gift and then says ,we will square up later or it gets nasty is pure gold and one of her catchphrases that sums her up best.
Jill eventually tracks them down and so begins a series of grossed out humour,cringe worthy moments and madness all round as jill attempts to take all that isnt hers,by now she doesnt care if she kills people,it just doesnt matter,this series is still great but not as vital as the first but all round this is a series that is just stunning,better than the office?yes!

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Series in More Ways Than One 22 Jun 2010
Format:DVD
The first series of "Nighty Night" is an unquestionable masterpiece: a six-part series dedicated to opportunist Jill Tyrell's quest to achieve her myriad goals by the most immoral means possible. From Don the married doctor to the upkeep of "Beauty by Jill" hair salon, Julia Davis's dark allegory on Western culture idealized the end result without consideration for the process. The finality of the first year's series run has found new life in this second DVD collection, yet the overall tone and comic edge is now manipulated into a programme of a different order. Davis's Jill has (d)evolved into a much more grotesque creation: a further hyper-sexualized abomination whose moral compass has only continued on its path southward. The usual suspects are all accounted for: Linda, the abused (but justifiably so) cohort who assists Jill in turkey baster fertilizaton and massage therapy when not prying trout from her front bottom; Cath and Don, a couple undergoing new age relationship counselling due to Don's infidelity and Cath's prudish lily; Sue, bereaved widow of Vicar Gordon, outfitted with enormous nipples she considers a gift from God; and a new cast of beach dwelling therapists to assist in the inevitable psychological trauma each encounters as orchestrated by puppetmaster Jill. The fine line between dark humor and farcical gross-outs gags is put to the test during these six episodes continuing on the first year's theme in an entirely more explicit manner.

The best way to approach this series is to disassociate it from its predecessor: all may appear the same, but the proof is in the eating as one unlucky octogenarian discovers in one of the series' more disgusting parables. Writer/actor Julia Davis took the more subdued concept of a woman compelled to murder and deceit as far as one could hope; here is where the story steps over the line. Humour abounds and ridiculousness ensues, but the general landscape is defined by the surreal more than the daily sadism initially offered (to quote a laudatory review). The jokes come fast and raunchy, but the hilarity stays consistent with the story arc to a degree that one can't dismiss it all as mere padding. No matter how off-colour the affair becomes, the characters stay true to their convictions (or lack thereof) while never lessening the extreme shock value afforded the numerous sight gags employed.

Does it go too far? Certainly. Are the characters bloated, over-exaggerated versions of themselves? At times. Is the series enjoyable? Undeniably. In the end there is still humour to be found and storylines of interest that make this series a worthy contender at an affordable price. Tread lightly here: be prepared for a different look at your favourite masochist, shot in another light but still as revolting as ever. And intriguingly so.
