If you've seen the superb Trigger Happy TV series on Channel 4, and laughed as much as I did, you'll want to get hold of "Trigger Happy TV - Best of Series One". The main part of the DVD contains about 80 minutes from the best from the TV series. When you consider that the series consisted of six 30 minute episodes, even allowing for adbreaks, at least 30-40 minutes worth isn't on the DVD. That having been said, the best bits are certainly all there - the celebrity interviews, "I'm at a concert", the Traffic Warden and the ice cream man. Even if you managed to tape the series, or it's subsequent repeat, the DVD is still ...  Read the complete review

Since their appearance on both Channel 4 and E4, it is true to say that Dom Joly and his assortment of colleagues have created a phenomenon. However, since the end of series 1, a ‘best of’ DVD has been released, highlighting the brilliant antics that these individuals have got up to during the previous series, and surely, this DVD lives up to all expectations. After purchasing the DVD, I have never seen such a funny compilation of sketches (e.g. giant mobile phones, the singing English Pavarotti etc), and if you’ve ever seen an episode of this program, or if you’re in favour of a traditional English ‘slapstick’ style ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought this to replace my VHS version. I had forgotten just how funny it is. The show features Dom Joly in a range of different situations which general embarrass members of the public by catching them unawares and taking the mickey out of them. This includes the man with the massive mobile phone (shown on the cover) who shouts loudly on it when it rings in places like an art gallery, restaurant etc. It's funny because people generally don't know where to look! There are also characters such as the traffic warden who tells off drivers for parking when in reality they are in traffic. The funny part is that the people in it are not part of it which makes it ...  Read the complete review

For those of you that didn't know, every thing you see on trigger happy is all acting - with exception to the celebrity interviews which seem rather convincing. Dom Joly assumingly approaches unsuspecting members of the public with hilarious humour, such as the mobile phone joke where Dom recieves a phonecall on his somewhat large mobile telephone and of course answers it with a very loud voice - sure to get many people gorping. Even though the whole thing is staged the sketches are still very amusing and some of the acting is rather convincing - with the exception of the few that look straight at the camera. This DVD is ninety minutes from the cream of the ...  Read the complete review
