A Hidden Gem of a Comedy Collection
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2018Verified Purchase
I am more of a fan of the New Statesman than of all of Rik Mayall's work per se, but this collection of 'made for TV' episodic plays holds up very well. It demonstrates that Rik Mayall was a skilled actor in different roles and not just the zany slap-stick comedian that much of his work tends to become. There are 6 plays in all (2 series of 3 from 1993 and 1995), with a short summary of each one on the DVD cover. Series 2 seems more confidently made than series 1, although 'Dancing Queen' from series 1 is the stand-out of that series. The first two plays (Mickey Love and Briefest Encounter) tend towards more visual laughs, although the plot set-up of Mickey Love is amusing and well-structured. Of Series 2, all three are strong pieces and show the diversity of Rik Mayall's acting. The scripting and production is excellent. It is a shame that making TV plays seems to have been lost amid the deluge of reality TV. This collection is a reminder of what an entertaining genre the TV play can be. The set is well-done in exploring different styles of comedy and setting up intriguing situations. Sometimes it ends well for the main character played by Rik Mayall, sometimes not, and sometimes it is left unresolved.

Quite forgettable stuff on the whole
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2021Verified Purchase
Huge Rik Mayall fan; but sadly this series of self-contained films are not the best showcase of his talents. I'm guessing the series was an experiment to see how well he worked in more dramatic roles. But the scripts and Mayall's performances are often flawed and inconsistent which results in a very hit and miss and forgettable series. But my favorite episode of the lot would have to be 'Dancing Queen'
Rik Mayall may have lacked aptitude at dramatic roles. But in his many celebrated comedy roles - he was one of the very best! A genius and a giant in his field. And at times the funniest man on the planet! But Rik Mayall presents is more of a curio than a gift for his fans.

A Comic Genius.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2016Verified Purchase
Often we don't realise what a comic treasure we have until they are no longer with us. From the early days of the Dangerous Brothers and Kevin Turvey (he put Redditch, UK, on the map!) to his later more serious work he seemed able to turn his hand from slapstick to serious acting, albeit very sarcastic work such as The New Statesman.
The beauty of current technology is we are able to enjoy him over and over again on DVD, so he is not really lost to us. The single, glaring omission, seems to be his Kevin Turvey, which I could only find on a an old VHS tape and not DVD. Still, better this than nothing. Just like his Kevin Turvey, Rik Mayall was a "one-off"; gone, but not forgotten.

Don't Miss Out
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2014Verified Purchase
I bought this DVD after seeing one episode - the hilarious "Dancing Queen" - on TV as a tribute to Rik Mayall following his untimely death. I was never a fan of Bottom or The Young Ones but I must admit that this DVD set is excellent. Each of the 6 stories are very different and Mayall and his supporting cast are excellent in each one.
I'm surprised that I've never seen any of these episodes repeated on SKY and I consider this set to be a bargain for Β£12. Dancing Queen is worth the price on its own, but 6 great stories make this a bargain. My only advice is buy it now and enjoy hours of great comedy
