Worth it for Sir Les alone, 13 November 2005
6/10
Author: goldgreen from London, England

Jeez. Where do you begin. Stupid overblown(i.e. not funny) plot, appalling garish 1980s-at-its-worst set design and general art direction, a script that needs major surgery and too much Dame Edna Everage. In its favour there is so little of the wonderful Sir Les Patterson on DVD that you have to take your pleasures where you can. Sir Les Patterson is up there with Ali G as the most un-PC comic character ever created. To see him say, what so much of want to actually say - but have too much common sense to say, is a non-stop treat. If you do not like Sir Les Patterson then you will be better off sticking to a bumper edition of Friends.
