5.0 out of 5 stars genius... bizarre genius, 9 April 2007
i'm just about able to remember this from when it was on TV. This is sheer undiluted comic genius and goodness knows why it never made it on to video - let alone DVD. Hallelujah!

So it starts here. A criminally stupid (ok lobotomised) American President led by advisers who think they have a direct line to God make bungled attempts at intervening in Middle Eastern politics. They are aided by a stupid and compliant British Government who want to stay in with their friends across the water. Meanwhile a shadowy international terrorist lurks in the background.... help! help! it's all coming true!

there should be a button here saying 'buy now, do not pass GO!'

comedy genius performed by genius comedians.

5.0 out of 5 stars and about time too, 28 Feb 2007
By D. Morgan "osprey" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thank God that after all these years a new generation of people will have the oppurtunity to feast their eyes on this work of genius by Andrew Marshall and David Renwick with a cast worth dying for. An American President (an old-time film Tarzan) with a Bible-carrying political advisor, a newly-elected British Government who (and I won't spoil it for you by saying how) join the Warsaw Pact, John Cleese as a terrorist who sends people a Demo Tape of his previous achievements with testimonies given by people who look remarkably like J.C. himself, topless newsreaders and loads more besides. A mere review doesn't do this wonderful series justice and I am so looking forward to getting my copy that I am now counting the days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satirical genius, 27 Feb 2007
By Tim Drake (Rochdale, UK) - See all my reviews
I have been waiting for the TV series to be released for .. let's just say a long time, long enough to hope it might have come out on video. The cast list alone should be recommendation enough, [...] Brilliantly written and performed, though it'll be interesting to see if it has aged well, keeping in mind it was conceived and shown in 1982, when the memory of what was, let's face it, a politically incompetent Labour government had not faded from memory. And without wanting to spoil the ending for those who haven't seen it before, the closing credits and song of the final episode are as surely as haunting as the close to Blackadder 4.

I've never seen the film, simply on the basis that I really cannot see how it could have improved on the TV series, and would therefore be a disappointment. Other reviews (from more esteemed writers) would appear to bear this out, but it'll be worth it for the TV series alone.
