Video Description
Spoons is a brand new, saucy, sketch show based around the lives and loves of 30-something urban folk. The show is set in the modern world--places you would expect to find thirty-something city folk--bars, clubs, hotels, restaurants, parks, bedrooms, houses, flats, shops and the occasional brothel!
The core cast consists of fresh, up and coming actors and stand-ups in their thirties. Highly original, this sketch show takes an aspirational look at our murky, mucky world.

After watching some of the recent extremely poor examples of what passes for tv comedy these days, it is therefore even more unbelievable that this first class quality sketch show never got at the very least a second series.Great performances and terrific writing by all concerned.At least it made it to dvd rather than being lost forever.

In a style vaguely similar to that of the Fast Show, 'Spoons' is made up of a collection of sketches that have social themes and highlights the awkward, embarrassing and unspoken truths that exists in the lives of couples, singles and friends. If you don't take life too seriously, you should find this to be a guilty giggle :)

I've just watched the entire DVD in one sitting.
There are six episodes, each composed of recurring characters played by a likeable ensemble. No extras.
Each episode rehashes the same jokes again, with a slight twist.
Mild as it is for humour, there is some poignant social comment under the surface.
Best of this was the man who goes to a lock-up storage unit to sit by himself and get away from things.
This (recurring) sketch was nothing short of art - at least the first couple of times around.
In short, don't expect to laugh out loud but you might hazard a knowing smile or two.

Great show, hard to find in U.S.
Count me in with those who can't believe this show never made it to a second season. It is so laugh-out-loud funny and is so much better than what passes for comedy today... Read more

a bit of a mixed bag
This show had some very funny skits, but some that were a bit flat. For the price, I think it is well worth it, but now I want to check out some of the other Sketch shows that... Read more

Great stuff, needs repeating.
I loved this when I first caught it, and kept a little note on my phone 'Spoons - dvd?'. Having just found this note it led me to this page, and I'm glad it did. Read more

Incredible
I totally agree with the other two comments - one of the cleverest comedy series of recent years - sorely underrated. I've been waiting for the DVD for so long! Read more

Hillarious!
This is arguably one of the most underrated comedies in history. Having watched the series on channel 4 I was dying for the DVD to come out and now it has arrived I watch it over... Read more
