I've always loved this. It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest comedy series.

After reading the book and enjoying a lot of Ben Elton's other tv work, I approached this dvd with anticipation. Unfortunately it slightly disappointed on a few levels. Poor acting and an old fashioned look did not do the book justice. The tv edition is a lot different to the book with a rushed ending. I would say the dvd is worth getting if you are a fan, but do not expect to enjoy it if you enjoyed the book.
Saying you'll either love it or hate it would be a bit overly dramatic. My guess is you'll think "it's okay..." Given when it was made the production values are reasonable, but you might think it's a bit cheesy... Whether your australian or british, and have or have not read the book may well be factors. I personally liked it, thought it was a worthy homage to the book, but would have liked it more if the book had been followed more closely (one of those where the minor details have been changed and the ending re-written...) It's actually a 3-part series, kinda made for tv film. Who knows, maybe it will be re-made and released to the cinemas, make millions and this review will go down in history as the prophecy that foretold the re-birth of an amazing story, but i dout it... I thought it was okay and hope you enjoy it, if you didn't please write a more concise review than I did ;)Read full review
