After many, many years apart, it’s genuinely great to see comedy heroes Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield reunited for a brand new sketch show. And while Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! doesn’t really come close to touching the brilliance of their work in the 1990s, there’s still quite a lot to enjoy.
All six episodes of the first series of Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! are collected in this set, and you’ll meet plenty of new characters along the way. Take Jose Arrogantio, a football manager who clearly has no real-life equivalent, American tourists Pam and Ronald, ‘I Saw You Coming’ and overweight teenagers Jamie and Oliver.
Setting up so many characters does mean that Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! does take some time to get up to speed, but it soon starts delivering a fair few laughs. Sure, it’s crying out in places for Kathy Burke, who starred with Whitehouse and Enfield in the outstanding Harry Enfield and Chums, but the pair nonetheless layer enough good work in here to make a second series a worthwhile venture.
For now, this first outing is a mixed bag, with a lot that doesn’t work, but a fair amount that does. Fortunately, there’s enough within Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! to nonetheless make it worth your time. --Jon Foster

Typical Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse wit but with a new set of characters. Very funny on the whole and good entertainment, although one or two characters are repeated a bit too often.
Such a pity they didn't rather reintroduce some of the characters from their original TV shows to fill the gaps, rather than repeating the new ones ad nauseum.

The series which joins old messers Harry and Paul again goes from strength too strength. It starts weakly (but with a few stunning sketches) and gets better and better with each episode.
The comedy is both more mature and more childish. New catchacters like the Posh builders, 'I saw you coming', José Arrogantio (Mourniho micky take), Pik the South African (so ture) and the divorcing couple just ome of the great sketches which get better as the series progresses'. You probably have to be an adult to see the brilliance of many of the observations but if you get it then you will gradually love it. Not as stunningly great as their original series but a more subtile and clever one here.

Well I think that the first series of Harry and Paul was okay. The reason why I chose 'okay' because it was an average first series. But you know that is just my opinion on the DVD. But despite my negative opinions my personal favourite characters from the first series of Harry and Paul has got to go to Jamie and Oliver. I mean they are brilliant characters. They like the habit of eating any food such as crisps sweets chocolate fried chicken wings chips and even drinking fizzy drinks such as Coca Cola. Also another character from the first series that I liked was Nelson Mandela. I think that he was brilliant.
Overall I would sort of recommended the first series of Harry and Paul but I think that the fourth series has got better taste of comedy humour to my knowledge. Thank you. Three stars all round!

Amazing............that the BBC release this poor effort instead of...
I'm surprised that Harry Enfield has been off the tv for so long, in the 90's he was probably Britains biggest comedy tv star, then dissapeared. Read more
