An eagle-eyed viewer might be able to see the wires. A pedant, might be able to see the wires. But I think if you're looking at the wires you're ignoring the story. If you go to a puppet show you can see the wires. But it's about the puppets, it's not about the string. If you go to a Punch & Judy show and you're only watching the wires, you're a freak.

Dean Learner: I, got a script, read it. Scared me senseless, comme d'habitudes. And I said to Garth, I looked straight into his face, I've never been afraid of holding a man's gaze - it's natural. I said "this is going to be the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap." And I do not say that lightly.

Very good series, worth it just for Matt Berry's dialogue alone! If you like The Mighty Boosh check it out, Vince & Howard make cameos in it!

I just feel sorry for the sap that had to sell it to them for 30p!

A classic

By the way, it's cheaper through Music Magpie etc on Amazon.

AND if you're prepared to play the waiting game, those two sellers will probably keep dropping their price by 1p in order to be the lowest price.

OR if for some reason you still wanted to buy from Music Magpie direct, use VCMAY20 for 20% off.

Although it's from 2004 it has aged very well.

Christ, you've just made me feel so old :confused:

Also love the (deliberate) terrible production on this. :smile:

​I watched red dwarf first time round in the 80s, so you're probably not as old as me!

Brilliant show, must dig out my dvd's and watch it again, Hot

This, Nathan Barley, Snuffbox and Time Trumpet... The early/mid-noughts was a good time for comedy.

I'm not Jesus Christ, I've come to accept that now.

I'll have to check this out... thanks for posting, OP!

That's the mother Rick!

Worth getting the dvd just for the commentary, done in character throughout by Garth Marenghi, Todd Rivers and Dean Lerner. Hilarious.

Blood, blood and bits of sick!

Author. Dreamweaver. Visionary.... Plus actor.

If you liked this, keep an eye out for the spin off series, Man to Man with Dean Learner, absolute classic series

Just buy it - you wont regret it. Suffice it to say that there is nothing on tv now even close.

"I'm a one track lover, down a two way lane!"

What a show that was

Mike stared in disbelief as his hands fell off. From them rose millions of tiny maggots. Maggots? Maggots. Maggots. Maggots. Maggots... all over the floor of the post office in Leytonstone.

Showing as full price now.

you and he were...buddies...weren't you?

That's the mother, Rick!
