This review is from: Murder Most Horrid - Series 1 [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

This series was (and remains) absolutely brilliant ! Where is the USA DVD version ???? I saw this years ago on PBS and never forgot it. I've had to content myself with downloads from U-tube. Please release a USA DVD format. Dawn French is amazingly talented.Murder Most Horrid - Series 1 [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ]Murder Most Horrid - Series 1 (1991 Murder Most Horrid - Series One [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - United Kingdom ]

5.0 out of 5 stars Dawn French is Fabulous in "MURDER MOST HORRID", January 4, 2011

This review is from: Murder Most Horrid - Series 1 [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

Dawn French at her comedic and chameleon-ic best as she tackles roles from a nuclear physicist to a Latin-American maid to a red-hot sex symbol, and more -- all having to do with M-U-R-D-E-R!

I waited for over a decade for this DVD to be released in the USA. Finally, bought an all-region DVD player, ordered MURDER MOST HORRID, and never looked back.

PROS: Dawn French, funny, original, entertaining, feel-good fun.
CONS: Need MORE, MORE, MORE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Before there was The Vicar of Dibley..., June 22, 2010

...there was Murder Most Horrid, which I was lucky enough to discover on BBC America many years ago. Each episode is complete unto itself and has different characters played by a small stock group, plus a weekly guest star. And the material! Think The Loretta Young Show meets Hitchcock Presents meets Monty Python. Absolutely wonderful, and a crying shame that it's not available in the US.
