Amazon.co.uk Review

Trigger Happy TV 3 is another compilation from the cult late night Channel 4 comedy that turbo-charged the old Candid Camera format with a cool rock soundtrack for the MTV generation. While the show itself could become repetitive, the 42 minutes of highlights distilled into the main feature here are frequently hilarious. See public prankster Dom Joly wrestle a giant badger in the woods, enjoy the office populated entirely by people dressed as bears and collapse with laugher at the most surreal estate agent scenario in the world. From a terribly insecure policeman to the street guide who doesn't know the location of anything, Joly's nerve at pulling off some of these gags is breathtaking. The supporting feature is a half-hour spoof biography of Joly made to introduce Trigger Happy TV to American audiences. Deadpan in the extreme, it sends up the fly-on-the-wall genre and celebrity interview with uncomfortably accurate wit. That's not the end, because the presentation makes the line between programme and extras largely irrelevant, so read on to see what else is...

On the DVD: Trigger Happy TV 3 can simply be played straight through so that everything on the disc makes a 90-minute pseudo feature, or individual sections can be selected as extras. There are 14 mostly worthwhile unseen clips, three "Bad Rabbit Jokes" (and they are bad), the three "Worst Ideas Ever" (they are), "Brushes with the Law" (which was bound to happen with such stunts as White Van Man's road rage), and four hugely entertaining previously unseen Celebrity Interviews with Hanif Kureishi, Bret Easton Ellis, Uri Geller and Alan Titchmarsh. The commentary track by Joly and Sam Cadman rambles with entertaining irrelevance from a deaf George Martin producing their recording at Studio 2, Abbey Road, to rather more believable recollections of being arrested in Belgium. --Gary S Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly conceived, Trigger Happy goes out with a bang, 24 Oct 2003
By N. Vesty "NattyVee" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dom Joly is back for the last time in the best hidden camera show on the telly. The last (and best) two episodes of Trigger Happy released some time last year as Christmas specials are put together, along with a brilliant mockumentary about the man behind the genius that is Dominic Brankem-Joly.

In the two episodes, new and old characters are included in the cream of the Trigger Happy trilogy. How Joly can keep a straight face when setting up these people (mainly tourists), I'll never know.

If you've never seen TH, then it's basically a sketch show, where Joly dons various guises to set up members of the public in and around London. My personal favourite scene is where Joly traps a woman in a hedge maze but there is plenty of other stuff to amuse.

'Being Dom Joly' is the next feature on the DVD. In a wonderfully dry mockumentary, Dom talks about his life and allows a camera crew to follow him round his day-to-day existence as an overnight sensation. But it seems that the footage has been 'edited' in such a way that just exposes him as a selfish, thoughtless... well... pig (refusing to do a school raffle for less than £100). Attention to detail is very important when watching this! (E.g. note the sniper approaching from behind while Dom talks about jealousy that his 'friends' may have about his new-found fame.)

Delightfully funny, a real pleasure to watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious - but too short, 5 Dec 2002
This DVD could have been a Series too far, but the material is still fresh and is as funny as the first two series. The only problem Dom Joly faces is his notoriety (as seen in the Alan Titchmarsh interview).

The extras are good, the interviews are funny and the commentary track is entertaining. As already noted, the 'bad rabbit jokes' are not as funny as their predecessors in series 1 and 2, but are not as bad as you'd expect from the title 'three bad rabbit jokes'.

The '3 Worst Ideas Ever' are indeed the three worst ideas ever, but it's nice to see that not everything Dom Joly touches turns to gold and he is indeed fallible. The 'Brushes with the Law' feature is funny but a bit short - I'm surprised that there weren't more of them, but maybe that was all the trouble he got into.

The main feature, at 42 minutes, is far too short as its about the length of 2 Channel 4 episodes, but the 14 unseen clips partially make up for this.

If, like me, you have the DVDs of series 1 and 2, this is worth getting to complete the collection but, for a newcomer to Trigger Happy TV, its probably better to buy the series 2 DVD instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars PURE GENIUS, 6 Jan 2003
By mac (London) - See all my reviews
Trigger happy Tv 3 contains the last two THTV episodes ever which were released as xmas specials. They are, quite simply, brilliant and mark a fitting end to this genius laden series. The DVD also contains a wonderfully dry and funny mockumnetary made by Dom Joly on himself which shows that there is loads to come from this comedian. Packed with loads of extras this is a must-have. if you have ever seen Trigger happy this is essential, if you haven't then it's totally essential. BUY THIS NOW!!!!!!!!
