Dive into the complete series of "Drop the Dead Donkey" on DVD, an acclaimed comedy collection that offers a witty take on British news. The box set features the first six seasons, ensuring you have the full experience of this beloved TV Series that brought laughter to households with its unique blend of humour and current affairs. Directed by Liddy Oldroyd and featuring an ensemble cast including Neil Pearson and Stephen Tompkinson, this DVD set is a treasure for fans of the genre. With additional content including interviews with the writers and the fantastic and final Emmy award-winning episode, it's a must-have for enthusiasts of sharp-tongued comedy and British television.
It's British humour, which means less canned laughter and more expectation that the viewer decides what's funny. The characters fit what you might imagine a badly run TV news studio looks like on the inside. Huge egos, meaningless management-speak, ineffective management, characters with poor ethics and non-politically correct attitudes. But it's presented in way that you can't help laughing at.
I'm so glad that I found the whole series and reminded myself what the 80s and 90s was like.
A knowledge of political and social events, British politicians, personalities and celebrities around during the time when this was current (the 90's) would help to fully appreciate this show but not essential for it to be enjoyable by any means. Not a great classic of British comedy but close. Highly recommended.
