What a DVD, the best of a show that is very hard to find the best bits of.
Look out for the Star Wars toy spoofs and extra free sketch in the first series.
Toytanic, Saving Private Lion, American Beautoy and many more.
A must buy for anyone who remembers, and if you dont remember, buy it any way because it is the best DVD you will ever buy!!

This DVD is superb, but I'm not happy.
I'm not happy because I don't want a 'Best Of' Adam & Joe compilation. I want to see all 4 series in a complete DVD collection.
Nothing else will do.
I don't have Virgin cable TV, so I can't record the stuff that Channel Four repeats on there which includes complete series of Adam & Joe. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Format:DVD
After downloading their brilliant XFM podcasts I needed another fix of Adam and Joe, so I decided to revisit their indispensible late night TV series from the ninties; The Adam and Joe Show. The DVD includes a half hour best-of compilation for each of the four series and these are mostly made up of their toy movie parodies, which vary in quality and humour, a pity actually because I would have preferred to have more chat from the boys themselves. This DVDs true strength though is contained within the huge number of quality extras; they are absolutely superb and best of all is the documentary "The Adam and Joe Story"; this includes embarrassing footage from their early teens, late teens (also starring a young Louis Theroux), art school installations (quite cool actually), failed attempts to get TV deals, the making of all four television series and a number of unused, cringeworthy outtakes, including a memorable (and scary) moment with Jonathan Ross. So, something of a bargain this one and a must for all A&J fans.

Adam and Joe
A great collection of Adam and Joes finest bits, not everything is here but until all the seasons are available on dvd this is as good as it gets!

Sorry, but this doesn't cut it.
I pretty much idolised the Adam and Joe show, which is probably why this DVD seems like such a dire disappointment. Read more

hit and miss...
...but mostly hit, and when Adam and Joe are funny they're up there with anyone. The problem I had with the show is the toy spoofs of blockbuster films. Read more
