Amazon.co.uk Review
IRebel Heart/I is a handsome four-part BBC drama, depicting the struggle for Irish independence that flared over Easter 1916 and eventually wrought the fateful partition of Ireland in 1921. The series generated controversy before it was transmitted. But then dramas about Irish history are always subjected to this kind of interrogation: Neil Jordan's iMichael Collins/i revisited the same period, and caught similar flak.pIRebel Heart/I charts the coming of age of young Ernie Coyne (James D'Arcy), who defies his prosperous family to fight for Irish freedom at Dublin's GPO on April 24, 1916. The Rising founders as many Dubliners disdain the depleted rebels, whose socialist contingent is themselves scornful of their leader, priggish Padraic Pearse. Nevertheless Coyne learns to handle a pistol, acquits himself bravely, and emerges from prison to fall in with the emergent Sinn Fein and the plans of charismatic Michael Collins to "step up the war" against the British. Ernie's passion for dark-eyed Belfast republican Ita Feeney (Paloma Baeza) leads him to undertake missions in the "Black North", where he is terminally hardened by witnessing the police-sanctioned massacre of Ita's family. Eventually he must reckon with the prospect of partition, and the bitterness of a civil war that sets him at enmity with his old comrade Tom O'Toole (Vincent Regan).pIn his celebrated novels (iThe Catastrophist/i and iOverthrown by Strangers/i), IRebel Heart/I's screenwriter Ronan Bennett has shed light on Ireland from the unlikely vantages of Africa and Central America. Here, he's on home turf. With its photogenic cast, period sheen, and soaring theme by The Corrs, IRebel Heart/I is well mounted and thoughtful; though its more generic love-and-war aspects sometimes obscure Bennett's sharper insights into the hopes and discontents of Irish republicanism. --IDanny McGavin/I

EASILY THE BEST BBC COMEDY OF ALL TIME! March 9, 2003
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This video is absolutely fantastic as it contains all six episodes of Steve Coogans beautifully observed comedy about the life of a failed TV chat show host. The plot revolves around Alan Partridge (Coogan)and his antics while he is staying in a Travel Tavern. Alan has an early morning slot on Radio Norwich (Up with the Partridge) He also owns an office company called Peartree Productions and has a tirless and dedicated PA named Lynn. Among the strong cast is Phil Cornwall (Dead Ringers) and Sally Philips from Smack the Pony.brThe first episode is titled 'A room with an alan' and shows Alan Partridge staying in his hotel, making complaints about graffite. He buys a house and meet the chief commisoning editor of BBC television, Tony Hayers who rejects a second series of his chat show. Alan tries to suggest other programme ideas such as; 'Monkey Tennis, Cooking in Prison, Sumeo Wrestling with Chas and Dave,etc) No . . .brThe second superb episode 'Alan Attraction' shows Mr. Partridge on Valentines Day. He seems to be given every woman he meets a chocolate orange including his female co-worker Jill. He ends up taking Jill out for a romatic day to an Owl Park and then takes her back for an all you can eat dinner at the travel tavern from a eight inch plate. (Alan sneaks in a 10 inch plate) and then back up to the room to eat some chocolate moose . . moostake.brThird episode, 'Watership Alan' sees Alan in a bit of bother from Norfolks farmers. He agrees to star in a video commerical advitising a boat trip. Among the troubles, Alan gets drunk and has to find a screem wife. brIn 'Basic Alan' we see the irrepressible star getting slightly bored and taking apart an entire trouser press. Phones his son Fernando and fiddles around with Satelitte TV. Alan tries to cheer himself up by talking to his friend, Michae;. but all Michea; wants to talk about is suicide and monkeys stealing fags. In the end, disaster when Alan takes a stand and steal some traffic cones . . .pFifth, my favourite episode 'To kill a Mocking Alan' Alan meets some TV stars from Dublin who have come to watch his live afternoon chat show being held in his hotel. Alan thens meets his biggest fan and rashly (he doesn't want to admit to the Irish men that he lives in a hotel.' agrees to go home with Jed Maxwell, his biggest fan. There, Alan is scared out of his wits, Jed is more dedicated than Alan ever imagines, having a photo gallery of Alan on his wall, a mock chat show studio and a tattoe of Alan's face. He says; 'It took six hours, I fainted five times!'brFinally, 'Towering Alan' see's Alan depressed. He has been at the travel tavern for six months, 182 days of bordom. But then he receives terrible news that make be the great big break through in which he been hoping for, so Alan Partridge is all ready to put on his hat and coat, say goodbye to the Linton Travel Taverm forever and return hopefully to stardom. However with Alan Partridge, catastrophe is just around the corner and lurking on the horizon.brThen there is twenty minutes of untransmitted material which is very hilarious. A hilarious comedy, any fan of comedy or of Steve Coogan should buy this great priced video today. Super! Hilarous! What more can I say. The best comedy of the nineties and the best BBC comedy of all time with the possible exceptions of Father Ted and Men Behaving Badly. Witty, Brilliant and just fantasitc!
