Synopsis
Featuring every episode from the first two series of the quirky comedy set in the picturesque yet rather odd coastal village of St. Gweep. Simon Nye's Wild West stars Dawn French as Mary Tregwednack who lives above her Post Office in a Cornish village with her neurotic best friend Angela (Catherine Tate). Mary and Angela enjoy the cosy security of life in a tight-knit coastal community but their chances of finding suitable men are more remote than the village itself. The two women find themselves thrown together in an unlikely yet happy relationship, which is put to the test on occasion, particularly if a healthy hunk of testosterone visits the village.

Nice to watch4
Dawn French and Catherine Tate, you would think this is the best comedy show ever. Well in fact it's not. It is nice intelligent comedy-drama where you don't get much audience laugh. You have to laugh without help.

could not get this2
i watched this series on tv and could not get into it at all.on reading the reviews on amazon i thought it must be me so i bought a copy of the dvd.iwatched it a couple of times but still dont get it

Give it time to grow on you4
Okay, 'Wild West' isn't The Vicar Of Dibley' or 'The Catherine Tate Show'. It resembles neither show in any way, apart from it features the leads from both of those shows, but that's where the similarities end.

Wild West is quite a strange little series which really needs to be given time for it to get inside your head. It has a similar feel to the recent BBC1 series 'Jam & Jerusalem' (also starring Dawn French) which may be because it is also set in the West Country.

If you like quirky little comedies that don't signpost their punchlines then you might like 'Wild West'. Then again you might not. I certainly like it.

In summary, if you are a fan of dross like 'My Family' then avoid 'Wild West' like the plague.
