3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a rather strange choice, 30 Mar 2006

By	Iain S. Palin (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

It is not uncommon for writers to disagree with their public about what is their best work, and this seems to have been the case here. This "Writers' Choice" is not what I (and other fans I have spoken to) would have picked for what is essentially meant as a "best of" set. How could it be, when The Christmas Party and The Awards Ceremony - probably the two best episodes ever - have been left out?

"Drop the Dead Donkey" was hysterically funny when first shown on TV although not all episodes have worn well with time. It was also a programme which - as is so often the case - came to life with the second season. That is where those coming to the series should start. They won't be disappointed; the probably will be hooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too eclectic - let's have it all!, 2 Mar 2004

By	Jonathan Oakey (Brussels Belgium) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Living abroad and without access to Channel 4, it was over 10 years since I had seen Drop the Dead Donkey but I had fond memories. They had not been tempered by time; it is indeed a very funny programme. The six episodes and numerous other clips on this DVD are thoroughly enjoyable (although the sound quality is not 100%). I hope that this issue is successful enough to warrant a full release.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 13 April 2003

By	Andrew J. Codling "s_tarboy" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This really took me back to the nineties. It was a joy to be reunited with Alex, Dave and Henry. Although I still think that the ending for George was very mean.

Very good episodes, highly recommended. Thid drops a star, as it didnt have the paintball or Christmas party episodes.

My highlight, Henry, couldnt pick any particu;ar moment, just almost all of it.
