DVD Description
Help yourself to an extra tasty serving of Special Kay--a golden cluster of the finest and funniest comedy moments that have made Peter Kay one of the UK’s favourite comedians. A multitude of hilarious TV moments-–many never seen before on national television--show why audiences keep coming back for repeat sprinklings of comedy magic from Britain’s funniest man. From early appearances on Granada’s The Last Laugh Show to cameos in Coronation Street; uproarious banter with Parkinson and Jonathan Ross; scintillating stand-up on Children In Need and Comic Relief, the hugely popular and award-winning John Smiths ads and so much more! Special Kay also includes Peter’s never-seen-before debut stand-up appearance and the smash hit single ‘The Winners Song' – as the delectable Geraldine - from Britain’s Got The Pop Factor.

First, I actually OWN and have WATCHED this DVD (a bit of a rarity nowdays for reviews on Amazon I know!) I am a big Peter Kay fan but I am so disappointed with this latest release.
As previous reviewers have already said, this is a collection of all the adverts, interviews, TV shows & general appearances which Peter has appeared in. To an avid fan these might be interesting (once?) but to anyone who just wants a good laugh the whole thing feels contrived and laboured.
First of all, there isn't even a menu to select your favourite item!! Want to watch that John Smith ad? or his appearance on Children in Need? then you have to put the disc in and fast forward or "advance to the next chapter" repeatedly until you find it! Ridiculous!
Secondly, the interviews are disjointed and cut into different chapters! So when you put the disc in the running goes something like this;
A not-very-funny 2 minute stand up from "Gas" (no, me neither)
A John Smith advert (top bombing)
2 minutes from his interview on Parkinson
1 minute stand up from "Children in need"
A advert for his own book "the Sound of Laughter"
A not-very-funny 5 minute sketch from the not-very-funny "Catherine Tate" show
A 1 minute appearance on "Granada reports"
Another couple of minutes from his Parkinson interview
The Texas "Sleep" video
Another one of the John Smith ads
a 1 minute stand up taken from "The Last Laugh Show"
another 1 minute appearance on "Granada tonight"
another few minutes from Parkinson......and so on and so forth
zzzzzzzzzzzz.................you get the picture?
I wanted to love this DVD, really Peter I did. But I couldn't. and when you consider the vast array of comedy DVD's out there recently released for the Christmas market then there is NO WAY I can condone anyone wasting their money on this. Sorry!

Even for Kay's die-hard fans this is just one rip-off too far. The last DVD was a joke, this is beyond the pale. It has been released because they know we'll buy it. Don't be fooled into thinking you're going to see something you haven't seen before. You're not.

Appauling
Bought this expecting to laugh, but just grimmaced all the way through. Very poorly put together clips - most of which are not even slightly amusing. Really dissappointing. This has obviously just been churned out for the Xmas market, knowing his fan base will mostly buy this unseen, DONT - you will be very dissappointed, and it will surely question if you buy any of his future output.

If you want comedy, take Monty Python, Father Ted or Blackadder over...
Sorry Peter, you've lost the plot.
Thankfully this was bought as a present for me, so none of my own cash was wasted. Read more
