Trivia:

Many of the close ups of Jeff's hands during the series were performed by writer/producer/directer Charlie Higson, because Bob Mortimer's badly bitten fingernails were deemed unscreenworthy. According to Charlie Higson, 'Bob's hands are not that attractive. Mine, however, are quite gorgeous.' more

Quotes:

Assassin: Turn around, Mrs Hurst. I want to see your face as you die.
Jeannie: How would you like me? Contorted with fear? How about bravely defying it? Or maybe just... laughing.
Assassin: What's so funny?
Jeannie: The fact that Felia's about to shoot you in the arse.
Assassin: I'm not falling for that one.
Jeannie: [laughing] You should.
Assassin: [gunshot] Aaah!

Good fun, 24 October 2001
Author: Stephen Saul from London UK

I think this update of an old favourite is surprisingly good!

Reeves and Mortimer handle their roles well - this isn't 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Deceased)'.

The second series has been assured, polished and confident. There's been plenty of genuinely inspired laughs. First series are always shakey as the various ingredients take time to gel. Second time around I think the cast and crew have got it just right...

And the amiably insane Tom Baker plays Tom Baker as brilliantly as he always does!
