Amazon.co.uk Review

The beginning of the second series of Phoenix Nights sees Brian Potter's beloved Phoenix Club lying in ashes and the staff scattered to the four winds. Even club compere Jerry St Clair is reduced to singing "Come get your black bin bags" to the tune of Men in Black in the local supermarket. But not even being barred from having a licence for the rest of his natural life can deter the northern Svengali from reopening the club and making it bigger and better than before--even if that means making Jerry the licensee and offering up-market Chinese nosh.

This second instalment of Peter Kay's cult sit-com is more upbeat than the first, with some genuine success coming to the characters and club, but it still has its hilariously subversive undertones: a botched hit job; an inflatable castle with an extra appendage; and Brian stuck on his stair lift for a day after a power cut, to take just three examples. The script remains brilliantly surreal and incredibly funny. All the favourite characters remain, with club bouncers Paddy and Max featuring in a couple of the meatier storylines (perhaps setting them up for their own spin-off series?) and Jerry continuing to wow the crowds with his original vocal stylings, the highlight being the grand Stars in Their Eyes final in which he offers his own unique clubland take on Eminem. It's brilliantly original stuff: roll on Series 3. --Kristen Bowditch



DVD Description

Brian Potter and his hapless band of staff and regulars of the Phoenix Club return for a second hilarious series. Life is not grand for Brian, he has lost everything – his licence, his friends and his beloved club in a mysterious fire. But as Brian says "there’s only one way to go when you’re on the bones of your arse and that’s up". It’s time to get the old gang back together and raise the Phoenix from the ashes once more! Contains all six episodes of the second series of the BAFTA nominated Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights.

5.0 out of 5 stars just gets better, 30 Aug 2003
Series 2, funnier than ever. Peter Kay must be rated the as one of the funniest comics at present. The more times you watch these episodes the more you laugh.Favourite episode has to be the Ladies night featuring Mary having an orgasm behind the Bar, superb, and Paddy shooting Max's brother.
Superb cast, who deserve to be watched again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars ACE!!, 12 Aug 2003
Phoenix nights is a classic piece of work from the man from the top of the tower himself Peter Kay. Like in the first he plays Mr Brian Potter & Max the bouncer. This second series continues on from the first with Brian having to rebuild the club 'Phoenix Nights'. If this DVD is anything like the first with special features such as deleted clips, and episode commentary, then it will be a sure hit. However if you have yet to purchase series 1 and want series 2 I would recommend waiting for the box set, which includes both, this will be released later in the year around November. Overall I give phoenix nights series 2 5/5, definitely worth a purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars How can i sell this to someone who has not seen it?, 9 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Anyone who has seen the series must surely want to buy this so the purpose of this review is for the unknowing.

Based in a fictional working mens club in bolton, the pheonix club is run by Brian Potter (Peter Kay), a man wheel chair bound by a falling fruit machine, ably supported by his 'manuel' jerry st. clair (the compare) and hindered by the compulsive liar kenny snr, the man with a face painted like a tiger - kenny jnr, the aptly named mulleted DJ Ray Von, Ant and Dec the chinese illegal immigrants, Holy Mary the sweet jesus loving barmaid, and finished off with max (also played by Peter Kay) and paddy the bouncers. You cannot also forget the guest appearance of Jim Bowen as the Blackpool Hotelier.

Starting the series with his beloved club burn't down by the evil den perry, and his license revoked, Brian Potter has to rebuild the pheonix into 'sunshine indoors', the team some how over the series manage to get through a family fun day with a 20 foot penis shaped bouncy castle, a crimewatch reconstruction, a booze cruise, a ladies night, one failed assassination, and a stars in their eyes event where the stars didn't turn up. Yet they manage to regain the support of the brewery and convict the evil den perry for arson.

There are episodes where you laugh so much it hurts.

I cannot recommend this title more.
