Amazon.co.uk Review
One of television’s best kept secrets, Mock The Week stands aside from the ongoing collection of panel quiz games by being both very, very funny, and consistently keeping its standards high.

The format certainly helps. Based on the principle of two teams going head to head in a quiz based on the week’s happenings, Mock The Week then promptly rips up the textbook by introducing all sorts of madness. Improvisation? Yup. A bit of role play? Yup. Lots of laughs? Absolutely. In short, take something like Have I Got News For You, mix in some elements of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and add in some incredibly funny panelists, and this gem of a show is the end result.

What really makes it though is not just the format, but the panelists themselves. Hosted by one of the funniest men on the planet, Dara O’Briain, Mock The Week then brings in the likes of Hugh Dennis, Russell Howard and the gut-wrenchingly funny Frankie Boyle. The mixture is perfect, and the show simply superb.

What’s more, this surprisingly lengthy DVD also brings in lots of material that even hardened fans of the show won’t have seen before. That surely makes Mock the Week: Too Hot For TV one of the must-have comedy discs of the last few years. And given the consistently high quality of the show, be prepared for more releases in the future too. Bring them on… --Simon Brew

Synopsis
MOCK THE WEEK is a satirical TV show in which a panel of comedians put their own irreverent spin on the week's current affairs. Part of the programme's appeal lies in its unique format which combines elements of a panel show, stand-up comedy, improv, games, and role play. But the show would be nothing without the razor-sharp wit of its contestants; Dara O'Briain, Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis, Andy Parsons, and Russell Howard, among others. This release contains all the clips deemed 'unbroadcastable' for reasons of taste, decency, and sheer outrageousness!

Customer Reviews

Better than Have I got news for you.
There was a time when the best panel comedy show about politics was Have I got News for you. However from the creators of Whose Line Is It Anyway? is the great Mock the Week.

It is like a cross-breed of Have I got News for you and whose line it is anyway, but MTW is so much better than these two at its best combined. The DVD gives you the twenty best bits that are unedited and unseen on BBC2. They also give us three extended cuts of the best episodes in their recent series (Late 2007.) There are five comedians that are regular panelists. They are Dara O,Briain who is the marvollous presenter, Hugh Dennis who is funny especially at making voices, andy Parsons who is funny when he gets going and Russell Howard the cheeky Bristolian who is great at making animal jokes but can be a bit slow. Yet the star of the show really does shine and that is the scottish comedian Frankie Boyle who is politically incorrect but very hilarious in doing so. There are two other comedians that appear on this show which are not regulars. These include David Mitchell, Jo Caulfield and Ed Byrne.

However the DVD does feel short and I would have prefered a complete series on boxset than the best of. Also if you are not very tolerant of bad language then this is definetly not for you. I do hasten to add though that this is well worth your money as this genuinely guarantees laughs.

Mock the Weak
When you think that Mock The Week is currently airing it's 6th series on BBC 2. It seems a bit of a cheek to release a DVD which has 3 episodes in full.

Apart from that it is a fantastic show, the best comedy panel show on TV I have ever seen to be honest. A mixture of Have I Got News For You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? a brilliant show.

The show is repeated fairly fequently on Dave, so if you want to check it out, look there.

First review by someone who has WATCHED the dvd
If U love Mock the Week then this is for you, it is incredibly funny and shows alot of material which wasn't broadcast. Including previews of them getting ready before filming and different lines of jokes.

Dont be put off by the 18+ certificate, it just contains some swearing and sexual references, nothing too hardcore either unless you live in fear of the words fu*k andr c*nt.
