DVD Commentary


Am I the only one who enjoyed watching the episodes with the commentary almost as much as the show itself? It's pure genius, I really hope they all (as in Richard Ayoade, Matthew Holness and Matt Berry etc.) work together again!

I completely agree 8D in fact, I think I only watch it with the commentary now XD

I love how Todd Rivers (Matt Berry) was surprised by the intercut interview footage and kept saying how he didn't think it was a good idea etc. Hilarious.

reply

When Holness describes his perfect romantic evening in as "Wine and....."

Aoyade: "Wine and what?.....Buckaroo?"

Cracked me up :-)

Poop on you all. DVDs are only Region 2.

reply

Yeah, I'm in Region 1. I ordered from Amazon UK and flashed the firmware on my Oppo player, easily done.

The commentary`s brilliant because they`re still in character, it`s a nice little Brucey bonus. It`s funny when Rivers and Learner take the p!ss out of Garth, and Rivers keeps dissing the show. Yeah, it`s much better than a normal commentary.

reply

Rivers line "Makeup for black women could be called "Ethnic Cleansing" made me spit out a mouthful of coffee on my keyboard.


A also love the suppressed laughter sometimes, and Rives snorting coke in the first ep.

reply

Oh god the ethnic cleansing line yes!! And then Learner saying that even Jim Davidson would think that's unacceptable XD!!!!!

I absolutely fecking loved the commentary. I think it was even better than the show. It might sound harsh but whenever Todd Rivers would complain about somebody being ugly I would just completely crease up.

I think though one of my favourite parts was Rivers complaining about the Dagless' final thoughts on the rooftop at the end of each episode. Marenghi's both wounded and annoyed response was fantastic, as is Learner being stuck acting as mediator between them.

I only found out about this show about a monnth ago, its a shame it had to end so quickly because I haven't seen anything as unique and hilarious as this in a long time.
