4.0 out of 5 stars
Duplicate material, August 17, 2005
If you like British comedy, you'll love French and Saunders, but don't buy both collections unless you like duplicates!
The French and Saunders Collections I and II both contain the same four DVDs: "The Ingenue Years, "Living in a Material World, "Gentlemen Prefer French & Saunders," and "At the Movies."
With Collection II you get, in addition, "On the Rocks" and "Back with a Vengence."
Hope this saves you time and disappointment.

Fantastic! The entire collection, July 14, 2005
Ironically, this collection was available in North America before it was the in UK.
French and Saunders (F&S) are one of Britain's best comedy teams.
They've worked together since the 1980s and are each known for singular success in a BBC comedy (French - The Vicar of Dibley; Saunders - Absolutely Fabulous.)
The DVDs are "best of" selections from each series (what we in the US call a season) of shows. Each DVD contains special programming (holiday specials, etc.) The extra specials are well worth the price of the set.
F&S are best known for their movie parodies, "white room" sketches, imitations of well known celebrities, and music video parodies.
