Product Description
“Happily plays with subjects most comedies wouldn't touch with those giant scientist gloves that go all the way up the arms. Hysterically funny and often heartbreaking.” Graham Linehan
“… it has the cojones to go where other comedy doesn't dare, a darkness and a genuine belly-laugh funniness. It's the funniest thing on telly at the moment by a mile.” The Guardian
When Donna dumps her boring fiancé and moves in with her best friends--Karen, a shag-anything, binge-drinking, primary-school teacher and sex-starved, dreamer Louise--she gears herself up for a full-on single life. But is she ready for this brave new world of serious alcohol consumption, outlandish sexual entanglements and blind confusion?
“… features some of the rudest, truest, cruellest and most unremittingly funny lines ever.” The Observer

I loved this series and was very disappointed with the Beeb for dropping it. It's wonderfully funny and wonderfully filthy.
Nearly everyone in the cast is excellent but you have to single out Tanya Franks as Karen... a brilliantly written part but she totally makes it her own - best drunk acting I've ever seen!
The one hour [farewell] special that aired recently was maybe the best of the lot - if you missed it make sure you get the DVD when it's released.
I don't normally bother doing this review thing - but Sharon Horgan and everyone else involved deserve every penny they can make from this.

This programme didnt get the attention it deserves and it is so so funny. Not a lot of great british comedy going on, but this is class. It is so true to life, not my life thankfully?? The writing in this is close to the bone, and inspired. The main character played by the writer Sharon Horgan is by far the best. I could not stop watching it once I started.

The TV series was fantastic and it's just as funny no matter how many times you play it. Watch this if you are feeling a bit low. I challenge you not to cheer up!.

One of the greatest!
Brilliant writing, fantastic female characters (for a change). Karen is a legend! Makes Sex And The City look tame. Hilarious.

What a shame this was taken off BBC3, there should have been more of them. The special that was made isn't on and so far isn't available. Read more

DIABOLICAL
Complete and utter rubbish. The worst I have ever seen. Excruciatingly abhorrent. Is that what my licence fee pays for?

Brilliant!
If you didn't catch this when it was first shown on BBC 3 then I highly recommend buying this. I watched the a series a night and at the price is cheaper than renting a DVD. Read more

Absolutely hilarious, Karen is the best drunk on tv, but don't watch this with the kids it can be a bit on the rude side.

Very disappointing
British sitcoms have evolved through a great tradition from Blackadder and more recently Whites, Rev, and Peep Show (to name just a few of dozens). Read more

The acting is brilliant and there are genuinely big belly laughs to be had. Karen is the best drunk you will ever see on TV. Read more
