2.0 out of 5 stars many sketches missing portions, September 22, 2007

By	RBW "polyglot" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

Having bought this as a part of the box set of Personal Best disks because I saw that it listed a particular sketch I wanted, I was very disappointed to find out that there are only small portions of many of the sketches.
For example, every disk in its intro, references the Argument Clinic sketch, BUT, the sketch is never shown! There are a few seconds of the lead in to the sketch but not the argument itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars WICKED WIT, January 11, 2007

By	C. Seymour - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not for everyone I'll admit- you have to have a taste for British comedy. However, for those who can appreciate this type of comedy, let me tell you, the more I watch it, the funnier it gets. I LOVE this DVD, I can't wait to add the other "Personal Best"s to my collection.
