Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Ever since the comedy greats stepped beyond the fringe for The Secret Policemen's Ball the annual Amnesty International concert has been one of the highlights of the comedy circuit. 2001's offering was called We Know Where You Live and let's face it, where else are you going to see the UK's top comedians and pop acts on one stage? Compeered by the "surreal stylings" of Eddie Izzard, this compilation of the night's highlights includes a new version of the classic "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch with Eddie, Harry Enfield, Vic Reeves and Alan Rickman. Rickman stubbornly sticks to the script while all around him improvise. There is also a great performance from Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse as the Self-Righteous Brothers and the Goodness Gracious Me team going out for "an English". As well as the comedy there are live performances from Tom Jones, Badly Drawn Boy and the Stereophonics, which seem rather abrupt and heavily edited. Some of the material is quite old, though--any fans of Izzard will already have seen him do the Star Trek phaser sketch where he talks about the other settings, other than stun and kill!

On the DVD: What really makes this worth the price (apart from supporting a very worthwhile charity) is the extra footage. As well as some more performance stuff, including Phil impersonating Eddie Izzard which is frighteningly spot on, there is back stage material and a news report following the Amnesty bus round London. Buy it, because other wise you might get Eddie round your house! --Kristen Bowditch

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Fans of Comedy, 2 Dec 2001
The most outstanding comedy event of 2001 in aid of a most worthy cause Amnesty International!

This video has to be the first to bring together Eddie Izzard, Alan Rickman, Vic Reeves and Harry Enfield in a revisit of the excellent sketch 'Four Yorkshiremen'!!! The best of British comedy from the cast of Goodness Gracious Me with their infamous sketch 'Going for an English' to Jonathan Ross and Dom Jolly performing their version of 'Stars in Their Eyes'.

Not just a comedy fest as there is fab music from the Jones (Kelly and Tom!) as well as Badly Drawn Boy.

Eddie Izzard who has taken on the role of host from John Cleese who hosted 'The Secret Policeman's Ball' is superb and Eddie fans will recognise most of the material. Not to be missed is Phil Jupitus taking off Eddie, which is completely spot on!

There really is so much more but I won't ruin all the surprises!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Edited by a maniac with hedge trimmers, 22 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: We Know Where You Live [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
Should have been brilliant - cast list can't be faulted. Eddie Izzard was excellent as expected. Sadly the editing is awful. Acts cut short and intersperced by intermnable shots of boring people holding birthday cakes. Also unlike previous Amnesty shows this one has descriptons of Amnesy's work intermixed with the acts. Now amnesty does a good job and it's a good idea to tell us a about it - trouble is I don't want to see this worthiness every time I watch the DVD - I want to have a laugh with my beer. Would have been much better to do a seperate documentary on Amnesty and put this on the DVD - it would have shown both Amnesty's work and the comedy better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good show, bad editing!, 14 Nov 2003
This review is from: We Know Where You Live [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
I was lucky enough to go to Wembely and see the whole of this gig live for myself. It was one of the best nights I have ever had, a very funny show and well worth the money.
How disappointed I was then, when I bought the video, to find that most of the best bits were not there! Whoever put edited this should be shot as far as I am concerned. Why on earth did they try to condence 3 and a half hours worth of comedy and music into under 90mins?
Having said that, there are some very funny parts on here. It was nice to see Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse back together for the night. The Four Yorkshireman sketch was a blast as well, if a little improvised in parts. So dont let this review put you off at all. Im only giving this 3 stars as I know how much they missed off, which ruins it for me. The actual night I would give 5 stars though!
