Product Description
As seen on the Oxygen Channel

Complete first series of a high-caliber comedy

"The British Desperate Housewives" —TheTelegraph (U.K.)

"Unrestrained brilliance" —San Francisco Chronicle

Ah, suburbia! The smell of newly mown grass, the colorful blooms in flowerbeds, the clatter of automatic gunfire….at least, that’s how it goes in Little Stempington, a posh London ’burb where the ladies care more about turf wars than topsoil. They stash Glocks in Tupperware, extort protection money from the Wicker Barn, and peddle black-market estrogen patches at the local pub. When mild-mannered Joyce Hazledine (Amelia Bullmore, I’m Alan Partridge) moves to town, she finds herself caught between rival gangs led by Camilla (Anna Chancellor, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Barbara (Felicity Montagu, Bridget Jones’s Diary). Joyce soon learns that in this quaint English village, women don’t kill time—they kill each other.

In Suburban Shootout, the laughs hit you faster than rounds from an Uzi and the satire packs more punch than a Viagra-laced baked Alaska. You wouldn’t want to live in Little Stempington, but you’ll never want to leave!

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE audio commentaries by cast and crew, behind-the-scenes documentary, and cast filmographies.

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

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

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 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars housewives gone mad, May 12, 2009

By	Margaux Paschke (New York) - See all my reviews

This UK comedy series takes a dark look at the competitiveness between wives in a small British town. A couple from the city end up in the burbs and things are not simple. The wife gets caught between two groups that have gone to war, literally. The gunfire and bombings are a bit much but the whole series is over-the-top fun. It is about what would happen if the daydreams of opposite factions in say a PTA meeting or town council, came to life. Very funny in an absurd way.
