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.

Customer Reviews

Great show
I have seen this show on tv, and after watching 5 minutes i thought it was a terrible show. I was a big fan of vicar of dibley, but was not impressed with show. Untill recently, when I picked up season 1 in a store for $10 (Australian) and was hooked by the 3rd episode. The acting is realy good, and the stories although a little strange are funny and interesting. The second season I found was better than the first, but appreciated the 1st more after watching the 2nd.

I would rate this dvd set 5 stars but theres a some things lacking. first there are no extras on the DVD, there are no listings of the episodes in the case or printed on the dvd label. And also i would have liked them to release the second season seperatly.

Give it time to grow on you
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.

with dawn french and catherine tate how can you fail!
i didnt see the tv series on tv but decided to buy it because i love dawn and catherines work...

its set in a small west country hamlet...two lesbains run a shop..plus a few locals!

but is it funny!...i have to say and it hurts me to say it..but not that funny! probably why i didnt see it on tv!

maybe you have watch it a few times!

anyone expecting the vicar of dibley or catherine tate show will be disappointed! sorry!!!
