Amazon.co.uk Review
The second series of The Fast Show races on from where the first series left off, taking the now-familiar characters and projecting them into new and unusual situations. The "Suits You" men are let loose as waiters in a restaurant, Indecisive Dave finally makes his mind up, Unlucky Alf tries his hand at courting, Bob Fleming splutters his way through a midnight Badger Watch and Channel 9 branches out into light-entertainment with predictably incomprehensible results. The seven episodes also add further depth to many of the catchphrase-reliant characters. Rowley Birkin QC finds a touching reason to wish he hadn't been "very, very drunk", Ted and Ralph's romance stutters on, Brilliant! gets depressed and things turn sour for Which Was Nice. All our favourites are present and correct, but the freshest laughs come from the new characters and less-established sketches, such as an inept croupier blundering through his first day on the job, Brilliant!'s dad ("Rubbish!"), haughty, mistake-prone history presenter Gideon Soames, and the world-weary Carl Hooper's unspectacular show "That's Amazing!".
On the DVD: The Fast Show, Series 2 comes to DVD with no extras, aside from some nicely animated menus, episode and scene selection. --Paul Philpott

This is by far the best yet I have seen of the fast show, introducing new characters in more detail, like 'swiss toni' and keeping some of the classics from the early series, including all the sketches from 'channel 9' Its a shame that they don't broadcast these anymore, but this is the best way to grab all of what was the greatest comedy sketch show ever! So this is a must have for the likes of fast show fans, and if you liked 'bottom' or 'happiness' then i'm sure this is for you. there is something for everyone, and if you decide that you dont like 'that' particular sketch, then all you have to do is wait a few seconds for the next one to roll on! They have mangaged to cram seven episodes on here, so the comedy genius is almost endless and will continue to put a smile on fans for a long time!

i recently bought series 1-3 as i loved the show when it was first aired.on watching the first season however my attention wained after the 3rd episode, because of the repetitiveness of the sketches and characters. so if u want to fully enjoy the show i would watch it in small doses. it unfortunatley has a lack of extra's which was a disappointment. however a funny show in general
The Fast Show really is brilliant, once you get past the rather bizarre opening titles piece. After that you get introduced to a whole plethora of fascinating characters, all in a format deliberately designed to keep moving along and keep you interested. Apparently Paul Whitehouse is Johnny Depp's favourite actor, and it is not too difficult to see why when you experience the versatility and range he shows through the various Fast Show series.
A fantastic ensemble cast, who flit in and out of various skits throughout the series. Charlie Higson, Arabella Weir and Mark Williams are all especially brilliant.
