If you're a fan of British humor or of Stephen Fry/Hugh Lauire, then you need to buy this dvd! It is hilarious.
How it all got started... July 19, 2007

Okay, that's a bit misleading for a title. Fry and Laurie had actually worked together on a number of TV series and sketches during and after their university days. It all led up to this, their very own much deserved show. Spotty at times, but mostly successful with their unpredictable, absurdist, English eccentric work. You can tell how much they love wordplay, how sophisticated and educated they are, and how strong the chemistry and friendship bond is between them. Can't wait for seasons 3 and 4; have already seen the second and loved it.
A Bit British July 16, 2007

Took a chance on this and found it delightful. Other reviewers cautioned that some of the humor was so British that an American viewer might miss it. That observation was correct. However, the majority of humor is totally laugh out loud fun. At times there appears to be some Monty Python type skits, but without the graphics.
Totaly recommended for those who appreciate British humor without slap-stick.
 Fast paced comedy sketches May 21, 2007

Being a Hugh Laurie fan, I wanted to see more of his 'beginings' with his co actor/friend. You can see their combined mastermind/brillant take on these scenerios which are very funny (however some of it was lost on me as an 'American')But there is no break after each vinette and after seeing 2 episodes I was exhausted from the break neck speed of transitioning from one bit to another. But I still recommend it highly - or should I say Hugh-ley!
Who Knew? February 21, 2007

I had no idea about these two until I saw them in Jeeves and Wooster. They are very witty, smart, clever and funny. They do owe a good deal to the Monty Python gang in style, but that is a good thing and they do not copy. There are many memorable lines and sketches, including "Control and Tony" the 2 kindly bland spies, or the barber who is too intellegent and round about for his own good.
I am so glad I have this DVD.
