Synopsis
Happiness is Paul Whitehouse's first foray into the world of comedy drama and sees him playing Danny Spencer, a recently widowed minor celebrity in the midst of a midlife crisis. He writes and voices a cartoon character called Dexter (a kung-fu nurse bear). Danny is unhappy that he's loved more for his creation Dexter than for himself. Will he ever rediscover the happiness that he lost with his wife's death?

3.0 out of 5 stars Isn't it ironic, 2 Feb 2003
By A Customer
Bitter sweet comedy with some fine performances and a great script. It's mature and juvenile at the same time.

The DVD offers some interviews with the cast and director, which aren't particularly enlightening (or interesting). And that's about your lot as far as extras.

Not sure what happened in the transfer from the television to DVD, but a lot of the music has changed. I know this seems retentive, but I think it makes a big difference. Britney Spears appears now instead of Alainis Morisette in the pub jukebox. Danny dedicates Brass in Pocket to posh Emma. A mangled version of Jeepster features in one episode. It really spoils it, for me and I've dropped a star because of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedy gem, 31 Mar 2003
By Christian R. Mole (Chislehurst, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Happiness" is undoubtedly one of the best examples of the recent renaissance in British comedy. A fantastic cast, excellent script and no irritating laughter track. Very adult humour, so not one so watch on the sofa with the kids. Second series is even better.
