To some people, Alan Partridge may be just too odious to watch. Tommy Saxondale is a nicer guy, just a bit of a plonker at times. So, this may be a comedy for some to appreciate the talent of Steve Coogan.

I think Tommy Saxondale is his best character since Partridge. Maybe there is some of Partridge in him, or is that Steve Coogan !

I am a big fan of Alan Partridge so was pleased when this new character came along. I thought the first series very good, and the second, even better. Just wish it would come out on DVD.

The dvd of the second series of Steve Coogan's fantastic sitcom Saxondale is eagerly anticipated in Sept 08.
For my money, it's the most rewarding character Coogan has ever embodied; yes Partridge was brilliant, but this is a different kettle of sitcom character, a more realistic and believable role with genuine warmth, if you want easy laughs stick with Norfolk's finest, if you want more subtle humour this is the place to be and the second series is even better than the first.
A must have for all comedy fans and wrangler pro rodeo green flash pump wearing prog rock fans!

DVD : Laurel And Hardy - Big Business / From Soup To Nuts / Do Detectives Think? [1929]


The fact that all three films on this tape are silents may be offputting to some, but rest assured that one film at least deserves to stand with their best sound shorts. 'Big Business' is simply hilarious as Stan and Ollie as christmas tree salesmen indulge in a tit-for-tat binge of destruction with James Finlayson.
The other two films are entertaining, though the best ideas were used again to better effect in later films ( compare the graveyard scene in 'Do Detectives Think' with that in the later silent 'Habeous Corpus'). The films do show Stan and Ollie developing their characters (though Ollie's appears to have emerged almost fully formed) and we also can watch the evolution of Stan's haircut.
Worth buying for 'Big Business' alone.
