• Bottom - Series 3 | DVD | (08/08/2005) from £5.86   |  Saving you £10.13 (172.87%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson give the flat-share sitcom a much needed kick up the Bottom in the show which, alongside Men Behaving Badly (1992-8) injected new life into a legendarily dire genre. With glorious comic gusto they play Richie Rich and Eddie Hitler, a pair of misfits barely surviving unemployment in a Hammersmith hovel. They spend their life in frustration, minus female company or money, in facile schemes to entertain or better themselves, their best intentions always proving the catalyst for hilariously OTT cartoon-style violence. The humour benefits from being rude, crude and surreal, and though happily bereft of subtlety or sense the situations and set-pieces are always superbly constructed, delivered and directed. But that's only to be expected from a show that essentially presents two of The Young Ones a decade down the line. --Gary S Dalkin

• Bottom - The Very Best Of Bottom | DVD | (05/08/2002) from £7.12   |  Saving you £8.87 (124.58%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Richard Richard and Edward Elizabeth Hitler (Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson) present The Very Best of Bottom, a selection of episodes from the flat-share sitcom that plays like an ultra-violent comic-book Withnail and I going ten rounds with Men Behaving Badly. Between 1991-5 Edmondson and Mayall made three series and 18 episodes of the non-adventures of the sex-crazed virgin Richie and the alcoholic Eddie, delivering as many belly laughs as their seminal Young Ones, though shorn of that show's brilliantly inventive surrealism. Outrageous slapstick and spectacularly crude innuendo are to the fore, and there are guest appearances by Young One Christopher Ryan as the literal-minded Dave Hedgehog. Packed with sharp one-liners and imaginative routines, there wasn't a weak episode in the entire run, so selecting five best shows is a matter of personal taste (or lack thereof). "Smells" features pheromone spray, cheese-and-onion condoms and a lesson in how to remove nose hair with pliers. In "Accident", Richie breaks a leg, before almost getting one over with Helen Lederer's uninhibited "Digger". "Holy" is a Christmas special involving an immaculate misconception and five minutes of added footage, while "Hole" finds our heroes trapped on a condemned Ferris wheel. On the DVD: The Very Best of Bottom on disc has a 4:3 picture which is excellent for a shot-on-video sitcom, while the mono sound is clear and perfectly functional. Other than the five minutes of extra material in "Holy", originally cut to keep the show down to half-an-hour rather than for censorship reasons, the only extra is a routine photo gallery. --Gary S Dalkin

• If You See God Tell Him | DVD | (21/07/2008) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Richard Briers (The Good Life) plays Godfrey Spry who having been hit on the head in a freak accident ends up with an attention span of 30 secs. As a result he begins to obsess over TV commercials and begins to take advertising claims literally causing erratic twists in his behaviour and complicating the lives of those around him. Dark funny writing which satirises the advertising industry and a million miles away from a typical Richard Briers cosy comedy.
