At Last! At Last! At Last! At Last!,

This review is from: The New Statesman (DVD)
I'm so excited I can't stand it! Britcom aficianados (sp?) are in for a special treat. Rik Mayall's vicious and viciously funny New Statesman is finally coming to DVD. If you've only ever seen RM on Young Ones or Bottom, the new character is very different. But there are plenty of trademark Mayall-isms. The propensity for shouting, the sexual morals of a rabid mink in heat, cheating, lying, victimizing the terminally stupid, blackmail, insults so clever and cutting in their wording that you gasp in admiration. The part that hurts? He almost always gets what he wants; he's a winner. Not fair, is it.

An all time favorite,

I rate this up there with Yes, Minister, & Father Ted as some of the best stuff to come out of Britain. It is just inconcievable that the Right Wing in this country could ever get skewered in the manner they seem to get away with in Britain. My favorite moment has to be when Mayall is with Hugh Laurie & Steven Fry at Mussolini's...or maybe it's when B'stard is shaking down the Nazi he has been protecting for his gold stash...'It wasn't 40,000. It was only 37,000!' Oh, there are so many golden moments!

Thank God it's finally in the US!,
This review is from: The New Statesman (DVD)
I've been to the UK a few times. Last time was in 1993. There I picked up PAL VHS copies of a show called the New Statesman. Never heard of it, but I loved Rik from the Young Ones so I gave it a shot. One of the BEST British comedies never to be shown in the US. A treat for Doctor Who fans is that Pat Troughon's son, David, is one of the co-stars.
Just get it. You won't be sorry.
