Synopsis
In an effort to escape the pressures of stardom, some of the world's most famous celebrities move to The Good Life country, Surbiton, to a nondescript Stella Street. Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Dustin Hoffman all live down this road, along with other celebrities, oh and some ordinary working class people as well. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards own, and work in, the corner shop. Everyone gets along, after a fashion, until a financial advisor persuades everyone to hand over control of their finances to him. When this goes horribly wrong, the stars decide their old lifestyle wasn't so bad after all!

More classic impressions
Hot on the heels of series 1's DVD release comes series 2. Compared to the first series, the episodes went from 10 minutes to 15, and more substantial plots were introduced, but this series manages to retain almost all the freewheeling energy of its forerunner. It's clear that the budget was expanded too. Dirk Bogarde moves out and we're introduced to Pam and Gray Slurrey from Dorking (two repellant suburbanites who inform Mrs Huggett her services are no longer required) and Jack Flatley (washed up entertainer charged a nominal rent of £80 per week to stay with Michael Caine). John Hurt's character is developed, Al Pacino ages and the Stones carry on more or less as usual, but haunted by the Beatles. Also, Alan Rickman turns up at the end to demolish the street... This is another classic series that is presented here on vanilla DVD. Series 2 was later re-edited to 15 ten minute episodes, and there were one or two slight additions (such as Al Pacino's prenuptial agreement). These don't appear to be included, sadly. Any fan of impressions will want to own this fun series.
