Product Description
Grim Mancunian characters brought to life by Steve Coogan (creator of Alan Partridge), in two Bafta winning spoof video diaries. In 'Paul Calf's Video Diary', Steve plays the title character as he and his friends bum around Manchester by getting drunk and doing Chuck Norris impressions. Coogan also plays Paul's sister, Pauline, who turns up again as the leading role in the second video diary: 'Three Fights, Two Weddings and a Funeral'. In it, Pauline is engaged to marry Spiros, a Greek man she met on holiday, but Fat Bob (or Fat Robert Esquire as he prefers to be called) is also in love with her. Both films also star Patrick Marber, John Thomson and Gary Olsen. As an added extra, there are previously unreleased interviews with Paul and Pauline.

Format:DVD
Been waiting for years for this to come out on DVD, had it on video & final it is here. Love it. Really funny, the best work Steve Coogan as done. If you like Steve Coogan characters these are by far his best.

Format:VHS Tape
Absolutely hilarious depiction of Manc lad Paul Calf, with his Chuck Norris haircut and total inability to function as a respectable citizen. Meet his mate Fat Bob, sister Pauline Lulu Calf, and two appearances by playwright Patrick Marber, as Roland the student and Spiros ("like a Greek god, only fatter and with a tache"). Very funny scripts and set-ups, this is a character Coogan ought to revive (Calf in his 40s, still on benefits despite getting four numbers once at the lottery?). One grumble - why isn't this on DVD yet? - my VHS is getting worn out.

As with the previous reviewer I had waited for these to come out on DVD for ages having owned the VHS version.These are two of my favourite ever comedies. Paul Calf and Pauline Calf are genius comedy inventions and these two brilliant films are probably the highlight of their "careers".
How to make "normal" life so funny is Coogan's real talent and the fact we can all relate to what goes on in Paul and Pauline's world just make it even better. So many great lines ("I'm not wearing dead mans pants")it's just brilliant.

You can't buy class!
Got this from Amazon though. Bit fuzzy like the original video but so good to have a copy I can play! A classic piece of comedy that everyone should own.
