4.0 out of 5 stars I thought this would never happen...., 12 April 2008

By	P. Ryan "dreamweaver" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Without doubt, the third series of Absolutely is the most consistently funny season of any television sketch show. The other series have great moments but they are patchier, hence the 4 stars here. That said, and as I think another reviewer touched upon, it still ranks above modern day contemporaries like Little Britain which, with half of the output, was faltering and rehashing old jokes.
I was involved with the company that was originally negotiating with Channel 4 four years ago to get the series released on DVD. Rather than release all the episodes as they are doing now, we were planning to do a "best of" to dip the toes of interest and follow-up with the complete episodes if the groundswell warranted it. As a precursor to this, Channel 4 converted some of the 1" masters for us to view to select the material that we wanted and I was given the task of picking suitable sketches from Season 2. It was good but not as good as I remembered it and when the shortlist for the 'best of' was drawn up, over half of the content was from the third series. Unfortunately for us, Channel 4 procrastinated for a further two years with changes of personnel and direction. When they became worried that the distributors of the original compilation, The Vido, still had rights over series 1 to 3, we dropped out. Good to see that it is finally going to get a release from the production company that actually made it.
When viewing Absolutely as it ran on TV nearly twenty years ago, I had a gang of people round watching it and we used to memorise the words, especially to Denzyl/Gwynedd sketches and Frank Hovis monologues. Most of them stuck with me, something which disconcerted John Sparkes at Edinburgh a few years back when, whilst he was reprising Frank Hovis in Filth!, I was mouthing the words to "Taxi" idly before I caught his eye and realised what I was doing. Not sure if he was annoyed or pleased but I stopped anyway.
There were only ten people in the audience that night and that kind of exemplifies that despite being a great piece of television, Absolutely somehow missed the real mainstream in its day. Hopefully the DVD release will give an audience size that the programme deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic comedy, well overdue for release, 29 April 2008

By	M. G. Hughes "Kipperthefish" (Port Talbot, Wales.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Still one of my favourite lines ever....

Gwynedd: If you didn't want children, you should have taken the proper precautions.

Denzil: Gwynedd, Gwynedd, Gwynedd. I took the precaution of marrying the most repulsive woman in Swansea......

Can't wait to see this series again. Shame none of my friends remember it, but hopefully I can re-introduce it to the masses.

5.0 out of 5 stars McGlashan, 28 Mar 2008

By	Andrew Dawson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

About time this classic Ch4 show was released on DVD fed up watching it on my old VHS recordings. Best sketch show ever to grace our screen. Certainly ground breaking at the time and looking back most of the sketches still hold up well. Can't wait to see Calum booking a flight to go and see his mate Gavin, in my view the best sketch ever written. Here's hoping this release leads to a release of Mr Don and Mr George on DVD.
