Amazon.co.uk Review

The pageant of boorishness and slobbery known as Men Behaving Badly launched itself upon an unsuspecting audience in 1992. Over the course of six episodes, Gary (Martin Clunes), the disgruntled manager of a security alarm company, struggles to break up with his long-suffering girlfriend Dorothy (Caroline Quentin) while competing with his aimless flatmate Dermot (Harry Enfield) for the attentions of their fetching new upstairs neighbour Deborah (Leslie Ash). The plots are built on contrivances like a chess match over opera tickets or an attempt at seduction via a synthesized flamenco guitar, but the humor always springs from the petty, careless, and generally inane behavior of Dermot and Gary. Gary persuades Dorothy to accept an open relationship, then becomes consumed with jealousy when she sees another man; Dermot tries to persuade Deborah to relieve their basic needs while her boyfriend is in Singapore. It could be tiresome squalor--and according to reviews, the American remake of the show (featuring Rob Schneider and Ron Eldard) was just that--but Clunes and Enfield invest this pair of clods with enough humanity to make their mishaps both excruciating and funny. Enfield left after this first sextet of episodes; Clunes and Enfield's replacement Neil Morrissey took the show to five more series, but Enfield's charming dimness makes this first series worth a look. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to see the original series on DVD so early!, 22 May 2000
By A Customer
The first series of MBB always seems to be neglected - who even remembers that Harry Enfield came before Neil Morrissey? After it took so long for this series to be released on video I was surprised to see it so soon on DVD.

Harry Enfield as Dermot is absolutely superb, it's a huge shame that he chose not to continue in the role.

And this series sets so much of the scene for the subsequent series that it is an absolute essential purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and excellent series!, 18 Nov 2003
I'll be honest, i bought the multi series box set of MBB and the last series i watched was series 1. i assumed it would be rubbish! But i thought i was great! I heard it was awful and bad but what i watched was great! I thought Harry was very funny, he cracked me up everytime! Shame he couldnt of made a cameo appearance later on or something. Im glad i bought it and i would gladly recommend to my friends that they see series one as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 12 Jul 2003
Being a great fan of men behaving badly, I was a little ashamed that I'd never seen the first series with Harry Enfield. Keen to correct this, I purchased it all on DVD.

The show is hilarious, witty and fantastically acted. Being so used to Neil Morrissey playing the role of Gary's flat mate, I was doubtful if Harry Enfield's character, Dermot, would be any good. However, I was very much mistaken. Based on only six episodes, I realised that I much prefered his character and antics to Tony's. Don't get me wrong, Neil Morrissey was fantastic in the other series, but Enfield has a great edge over him.

All six episodes focus on the life of university graduates living in dead-end lives, soaked in women, work and drink. What makes the series special is not the razor-sharp wit or the classic comedy, but the truthfulness to real life and very little that is unbelievable. It is almost like looking through a window at the lives of typical people living extraordinarily mundane, yet fantastic lives.

An absolute classic in other words.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor artefact-ridden picture quality on this disc
Excellent programmes though...

Shame they didn't spill the six eps over two discs!
