Wasted - The Complete Series E4 Original Comedy DVD

Hilarious slacker comedy from BAFTA-winning writers James Lamont and Jon Foster. Having failed to make it as a DJ in Bristol, Kent (Dylan Edwards) returns to the Somerset village of Neston Berry to hang out with old schoolmate Morpheus (Danny Kirrane), Morpheus sister Sarah (Rose Reynolds) and her friend Alison (Gwyneth Keyworth). The four were left on the scrapheap as others moved on with their lives, and now they re stuck in an aimless loop of cheap booze-and-drug filled escapism. The high points of their low-key, juvenile escapades include popping pills at a pub... quiz and a sexual tryst behind the polyurethane polar bear at Bird Zone. Gross-out gags and kidult cartoon humour combine with pop culture nods and weird yet warm characters with believable connections and emotions. Morpheus is into Alison, but she barely registers this with her face constantly in her bong, while Kent and Sarah haven t yet worked out the meaning of a drunken hook-up at the village fete. Directed by Tom Marshall (Chewing Gum, Drifters), there are fast edits, musical cutaways and plentiful flights of fancy, the finest of which sees Sean Bean as a medieval swordsman spirit guide.
