I beg to differ with the other reviews of the Extras specials.
This 90 minutes episode is full of "special guests" and it can be very slow to watch , I remeber watching it and thinking , this is slow.
RG's character gets a rather bad run of luck and it looks all far fetched.
In the end they try to wrap it up quickly and give a nice ending but without the effect of The Office ending ( which was much funnier )
For £13 this is a total rip off , you can buy the whole IT crowd series 1 which is a thousand times better and far less hipped.
There are some good moments mainly due to Steven Marchant.
2 1/2 stars

Like most Rowan Atkinson Fans, I've been waiting too long for the UK DVD release of his one man show, filmed back in 1992.
Although it is 16 years old now, there is still plenty to laugh about. Rather than been a general "stand up" comedy show, the show consists of different well planned sketches, which show Rowan Atkinson at his best.
As you would expect there is plenty of physical comedy, such as the 'first date' sketch and 'the invisable man', which are both hilarious.
But if physical comedy is not for you there are plenty of "spoken sketches too, including the one where he tells Angus Deayton that he beat his kid to death at school.
This is comedy at his very best, something that people of all ages would enjoy. ... Read More:

I came late, but I am now an ardent Dibley disciple. Dawn French is delightful as the chocolate devouring, incurably romantic, caring and careworn Vicar. She attends to a tiny community of brilliantly barmy and quite certifiable characters, including her fabulously gerbel-brained verger Alice Tinker.

The scripts are crammed with deliciously fruity exchanges between the characters, showing off first-rate ensemble acting and many set pieces of virtuoso silliness. Particularly great is Roger Lloyd Pack, who glows with pungent pride as a farmer with better-left-unseen tendencies, and who develops an insatiable lust for Geraldine (the lovely lusty Vicar).

This entire series is a comedic marvel. So get the chocolate in and ... Read More:

Family guy started off as very good, but since season 4 it has gone very much down hill & this season now with more swearing, not really necessary, containing this is a new low, to me does not count as humour, there are some amusing moments, hence my 2 star rating, the Gene Kelly scene which was done very well cleverly, replacing Jerry the mouse with Stewie, but overall this cartoon, like The Simpsons, is running out of really funny, sarcastic, jokes, for what I would call toilet humour, which we are getting far too much of nowadays, & when you reach this you are finished. I will buy season 7, to see if it has improved, but only at a good price & I will not rush into buying it, but overall stick to seasons 1,2 & 3 for the best of this ... Read More:

Quite simply the best TV series ever made. Blows every other American and British TV dramas out of the water. Watch from season 1 through to 5 and be astounded and amazed at what heights TV drama can reach. From street corners to the corridors of power in Baltimore, stories are told in staggering detail. Excellent cast, fantastic characters. The Wire season 5 is just as good as seasons 1 - 4. The story ends, good guys don't always win, bad guys get away, so authentic in it's depiction is what makes it so good. No more seasons of the wire? In the words of Clay Davis "Shiiiiiiiiiit"

The only problem I have with The Wire is having to get to the end. This, the penultimate series, is by far the greatest drama to have EVER been televised and having just watched the final episode I feel almost empty knowing I have only one more series left to enjoy.
However, I am also looking forward to watching the entire box set all over again. There's always so much happening in The Wire I'm sure there'll be plenty I've missed!
This series concentrated mostly on Baltimore's educational system and provided a platform for some of the finest young actors I've ever seen.
As always, the writing is outstanding and you're left with a feeling that nothing else on television even comes close to the high standards set by David Simon, but despite having ... Read More:

One of my most favourite sitcoms of all time. Perfect performances, biting and surreal writing, daftness and cleverness in equal measure, great cameos from quality actors like Simon Pegg and Annette Crosbie: an absolute gem of a TV show.

Rarely do the scenes venture away from the squalor of Bernard Black's bookshop, but they don't need to. The three main characters' foibles perfectly balance each of the comic scenarios. God I wish I had written this!

Unlike most reviews for this thusfar I thought I'd wait to see the whole series. How can you really comment if you haven't?

Before I start my review of the series I'd say that watching this on DVD is the way to go. This kind of adventure should seem epic and long, put it on and watch 3 episodes back to back. Not in a weekly form. I found Long Way Down much better on DVD than on TV due to this. Oh and one more thing, it's not as good as Ewan McGregor And Charley Boorman - Long Way Round [Special Edition] [2004], few shows are, so don't expect it to be.

So, it's Charley on his own, but not for the first time. Charley Boorman - Race to Dakar follows Charley as he and his team enter the infamous Dakar Rally. In this Charley has to show his abilities as ... Read More:
