1 out of 5 stars *THE* Worst DVD, ever!!!   May 22, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was not offended by the language, subject matter or vulgarity. Yeah it was full on but so what? What I was appalled by the poor video and audio quality and above all the sleep inducing 'comic' meanderings of two supposedly funny and clever men.br /br /This is utterly self-indulgent, passe and simply not funny. Dull! Dull! Dull!


5 out of 5 stars Pete and Dud at their best   August 2, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Having listened to these two for over 30 years it's so good to see the guy's working. If you are familiar with their work this DVD might leave you slightly disappointed as they leave out some content, which I personally find hilarious, however, it is worth every penny to see the comic genius of two very funny men who are sadly missed.


4 out of 5 stars Brilliant   January 28, 2006
  31 out of 33 found this review helpful

Look... this isn't for everyone. It's Peter Cook and Dudley Moore going back for one last excursion into the world of "Derek and Clive." For the uninitiated, Pete and Dud hit on an unsurpassed comic concept of wallowing in vulgarity and absurdity which knew no bounds. Fortuntately, Cook was a brilliant comic who was at his best at improvisation. Moore could not have been a better "foil" and was able to keep up with Cook's ideas and helped taking them all the way to their - sometimes very clever or dreadful - end. pThis is the only filmed document (that I'm aware) of their collaboration on this particular comic endeavor - and its priceless. There's been a lot of talk about how they were at odds at this time, and the humour (and their relationship) was strained. Well, I've watched this countless times, and can't help finding the material and chemistry absolutely magic.pThey did reunite for the release of this video (which had only been available for years as a bootleg). So all the noise about them disagreeing on the final product is up for debate.pWhat's not debatable (OK - for some folks it might be) is this is great fun and highly recommeded to anyone who appreciates extremely ribald, imaginitive comedy.pOh, and some of the compalints about the 16mm film stock and poor lighting, etc... Please. This isn't a George Lucas epic. Its two well-matched, talented comics having some fun in a studio somewhere in London. pIts really quite sad they've both passed.


5 out of 5 stars Classic   August 5, 2005
  7 out of 9 found this review helpful

Some people love it, some hate it, but I fall into the former category.pAlthough it's different actually seeing them when compared to an audio CD or something similar, it's still just as rewarding and entertaining. I seem to recall paying the list price for it when I purcahsed it, and it still seemed worth it then, so this price of under 6.00 seems a bargain. Will be a classic for the collection, and there's nothing quite like it.


2 out of 5 stars Laugh? I almost slept...   August 3, 2005
  5 out of 27 found this review helpful

It's really not all that funny, y'know. I don't have a problem with the content of the film, not by any means at all, just that I find very little to actually laugh about. There are some good bits, one or two great bits, and solid boring chaff inbetween. I think the whole Derek and Clive thing became a popular cult thing because it was - as another reviewer points out - something you couldn't play in front of your Mum. But it just has the atmosphere of being on your own in front of the TV late at night on a Saturday, smashed, and feeling sorry for yourself. It isn't vicious or insicive enough to justify its existence, and it's not even particularly shocking if you know people like I do, so go down the pub on that Saturday night and get drunk with foul-mkouthed friends. You'll probably be funnier than these two at their nadir...
