5.0 out of 5 stars "Every town has its dark side", August 30, 2010

By 

Amanda (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suburban Shootout (DVD)

Housewife Joyce Hazeldine has just moved to the quiet and crime-free village of Little Stempington after her police chief husband [Jeremy] is transferred there. They are both delighted to move somewhere peaceful, clean and safe, but Joyce is about to find out what keeps the troublemakers away...


You see Little Stempington is tightly controlled by two rival gangs of housewives; on one side we have the elegant, well-spoken Camilla and her enforcers - butch Lillian and man-eater Hilary. Camilla only cares about money and is willing to do anything to get her latest scheme [drug dealing] up and running. The thought of getting the new police chiefs wife on side is very appealing to her.

On the other side we have the dowdy looking Barbara, who works tirelessly to keep the streets clean from graffiti and hooligan free with her right-hand women; The prim and proper Pam and earth mother Margaret. If their not keeping the town in tip top condition they're trying to foil Camilla's plans.


Episode 1
"You just blew up the Wicker Barn!"

Camilla involves Joyce in her life of crime by getting her to hold a detonator and press 'the red button'. With her fingerprints now on the charger used in a explosion Joyce is unable to go to the police and report the illegal goings on in Little Stempington.
Barbara introduces her to her gang and explains the origins of the vigilante group and why it splintered off into the two rival gangs.


Episode 2
"I'll shoot your bosom off, you silly woman"

Barbara persuades Joyce to join Camilla's gang, to try and find incriminating evidence to put her behind bars.
We are introduced to Camilla's man-eating daughter Jewel, who learns that Joyce has a son...


Episode 3
"Slap on one of these and you'll turn into Courtney Love"

Camilla plans on distributing extra strong estrogen patches as the latest recreational drug. She's needs the French speaking Joyce to help negotiate with the supplier.
Bill comes home from his gap year, so Jewel goes in for the kill...

Episode 4
"If we catch you again we'll cut your bloody penises off"

Camilla makes Joyce and Lillian test the estrogen patches before deciding whether to go ahead with the deal or not.


Episode 5
"Breathe a word and I'll hack your knackers off with a trowel"

Camilla and gang still need another £40,000 for the supply of estrogen patches, so gives Joyce 24 hours to earn it or she'll kill Jeremy... Meanwhile; Interpol contact Jeremy to report that a international drug dealer has been spotted in Little Stempington.
Things heat up between Jewel and Bill.


Episode 6
"If it all goes tits up today I'd like you to have my throwing knives"

As Camilla puts the final touches to her estrogen patch scheme and goes to France, Barbara and team follow them.
Back at home Jewel finds the stashed money in the garden, swaps it with magazines and plans a new life with Bill.
Jeremy suspects Joyce of having an affair with the drug dealer, who he thinks is a cheese seller.


Episode 7
"From the outside it just looks like another scruffy community centre, but inside it's a temple of boozing, boinking and brawling"

A community centre re-opens with a 24 hour drinking licence, so it's up to Barbara, Pam and Margaret to shut it down. Camilla, Lillian and Hilary think the community centre will be the perfect place to begin selling their 'Special H' patches.
Joyce has a plan to get Camilla to allow her, Jeremy and Bill to leave Little Stempington.


Episode 8
"He's an cheese importer Bill. A french cheese importer"

The drug dealer kidnaps Joyce, so Jeremy puts 2 and 2 together and concludes that she's run off with the 'cheese seller'.
Barbara and team are busy with a charity auction, while Camilla arranges with the dealer to have it crashed, so they can get the traveling bag of money back.
Bill tries to get his Mum back from her new 'boyfriend', with Jewel tagging along for the drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Desperate Housewives gone bad!, May 8, 2008

By 

Another Jen (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suburban Shootout (DVD)

Imagine if the women on "Desperate Housewives" broke into rival gangs and just let fly with the mayhem -- that's what you've got with this show and the result is hysterical! There are no holds barred with these crazy, take-charge Brit soccer moms (or should I say football moms?).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint at heart!, May 8, 2008

By 

Indiana Girl (Hoosier Country) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suburban Shootout (DVD)

This is hysterical! These women don't hold anything back & I love it. The language is pretty rough so beware but its a fun, laugh out loud show.
