Series
1 DVD reviewed: If you've seen the superb Trigger Happy TV series
on Channel 4, and laughed as much as I have, 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 repeats,
the first DVD is still worth getting, just for the bonus material. After
the 13 tracks of 'best bits' there an 11 minutes section called "Comedy
lab" that contains stuff I've never seen before, including 'mobile phone
man' before his shave, and some excellent sketches such as 'ice cream
negotiator', 'pizza for the small blue house', and an excellent Patrick
Moore interview. After that, there's more - nearly another 15 minutes
of the history of THTV, when Dom used to "muck around on satellite TV".
Not the normal Trigger Happy style of comedy, but a little more 'Mark
Thomas'. Still a good watch.
If you loved the first series, get the DVD, even if it's just for the
fresh 10 minute "Comedy lab". Enjoy... Oh, and take a close look at the
front cover, and don't feed the grey squirrels!
