The Life and Times of Vivienne Vyle (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is black comedy, a devastatingly funny, satiric look at "reality" TV a la Jerry Springer, with crazed guests and equally crazed backstage doings at a TV show. Jennifer Saunders is sensational, and all others in the marvelous cast are also brilliant. Each episode of the six can be enjoyed by itself, but it's best to see them all in sequence. The last episode is the best half-hour I've ever seen on TV.

Clatterford: The Complete Season Two (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been waiting impatiently for the second series of this delightful British show (titled Jam and Jerusalem there) to be available on this side of the pond. Although it still hasn't aired here on BBC America, I did catch these episodes in 9-minute chunks on YouTube (certainly not the best way to catch a TV show, but grateful for the access anyway). It's a sweet, funny, and very poignant character study of the quirky women of Clatterford, a small fictional village in Devon. If you've not seen series 1, don't think you're getting another AbFab from the brilliant Jennifer Saunders. This is a very different show. Like series one, it showcases the gentler side of English village life that is sadly passing away.

Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous, Shrek 2), Dawn French (The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Vicar of Dibley), Sue Johnston (The Royle Family, Waking the Dead), Pauline McLynn (Father Ted), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones\' Diary). Synopsis:The ladies of the Clatterford Women's Guild are back for a second season of side-splitting hilarity! Set in a small west country town, Clatterford follows the continuing exploits of ex-practice nurse Sal Vine and the memorable - and not a little eccentric - members of the local Guild. The Women's Guild - its ideals are to promote truth, justice, tolerance and fellowship - or is it just an excuse for good old gossip? Written by Jennifer Saunders and starring some of the best-loved names in British comedy, Clatterford is a comedy that takes an affectionate look at village life and the empathy and togetherness found in a local community where everyone knows everyone else's business.

Clatterford: The Complete Season One (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I saw the English broadcast of this series and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a heartwarming view of small village life complete with all of the quirky types of characters you might expect. Think Calendar Girls, with its focus on the local Women's Institute (called the Women's Guild in Clatterford). I read one review that aptly compared it to Northern Exposure. The BBC has done the series as much harm as good by promoting it as "by the creator of Absolutely Fabulous," Jennifer Saunders. This is not AbFab and one shouldn't expect anything like that. But Jennifer Saunders continues to be a master at taking common events, situations, or conversations and embellishing them to the brink of absurdity. This series can provide plenty of smiles, but don't expect hilarity. It wasn't written that way.

A hilarious and heartwarming comedy from the creators of Absolutely Fabulous, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. Welcome to Clatterford, a small town big enough to have a good cross section of people, local shops and a late night convenience store. It's also small enough where everyone knows everybody's business but doesn't talk about it unless asked. Cue the Women's Guild, who aren't afraid to ask. Their topical meetings -- ranging from 'How to solve world poverty' one week to 'the benefits of using marrow in jam' the next -- are the center of village life, like it or not.
