DVD Description

That Peter Kay Thing is a unique hybrid of comedy and drama set in and around Bolton. In this six-part series, comedian Peter Kay plays a total of 15 characters, interacting with other actors and 'real' members of the public. One of the funniest programmes to have screened on British TV in recent years. The DVD will have all episodes from the series as well as a load of special unseen extras on a double disc DVD.

Peter Kay plays 15 unique charcters in and around Bolton, including: Mr Softee the ice-cream man; Leonard, the oldest paper boy in Britain; Mark Park the egocentric pop star; as well as Brian Potter the Phoenix Club owner and Max the hapless doorman. The second disc includes unseen footage and the pilot episode 'The Services'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with Mr Kay, 14 Oct 2004
By A Customer
It's about time his first series was released! And I'm sure he's been waiting for it as well, joking about the wait on the featured commentary with Patrick McGuinness(Paddy) and Craig Cash (Early Doors & Royle Family fame).

Six episodes with 15 different characters played by Peter Kay, before his Phoenix Night's fame. Including Brian Potter at the Neptune Club, Marc Park the soon failed pop 'star', Leonard the oldest paper boy in Britain (Based purely around a old friend of Peter's), Matthew Kelly and his first night as a steward at the M E N Areana and the famous Keith Lard, the fire safety officer.

The series has it all. All of Peter Kay's best creations on one DVD, even Max and Paddy make an appearance a long the line.

The DVD also has commentary, superbly done by names already mentioned, out-takes and alternative endings which are best left as out-takes and the pilot episode 'The Services' where you can see how Peter Kay's fame started brewing.

If you're a Northerner, you'll love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Born in Bolton....., 22 Oct 2004
Following the lives of people from Bolton in a documentary style this is the Peter Kays first comic masterpiece.

Although I don't think this is as funny as Phoenix Nights its just as entertaining. Its where all his creations in P.Nights stemmed from; and most the actors pop up in it somewhere too. Kay plays all the lead characters in this series and you start to forget its him under it all. Set in a bingo hall, working club, service station, paper shop, M.E.N arena, ice-cream van...the variety he plays is incredible. If you love Peter Kay, you'll love this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pre-Phoenix Nights, 29 Nov 2004
I remember this series going out way before Phoenix Nights and to my amazement nobody seemed to have seen it before the Phoenix was opened. I was delighted when I heard that this DVD was coming out because it shows Peter Kay in another situation other than in his wheelchair as Brian Potter.
Basically it is a spoof documentary series broadcast during the height of pointless documentaries. It features the fore runner to Phoenix Nights with 'In the club' with all the actors from the Phoenix but this time in the Neptune for Talent Trek. You get to see much of what was to come for Phoenix Nights.
There are 6 more episodes equally if not more hilarious as a hapless Boltonian is at the centre of the documentary.
Very clever and hilarious, if you like Peter Kay, or if you are proud to be Northern, then you have to buy this DVD. I demand you.
