Amazon.co.uk Review
After many, many years apart, it’s genuinely great to see comedy heroes Paul Whitehouse and Harry Enfield reunited for a brand new sketch show. And while Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! doesn’t really come close to touching the brilliance of their work in the 1990s, there’s still quite a lot to enjoy.

All six episodes of the first series of Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! are collected in this set, and you’ll meet plenty of new characters along the way. Take Jose Arrogantio, a football manager who clearly has no real-life equivalent, American tourists Pam and Ronald, ‘I Saw You Coming’ and overweight teenagers Jamie and Oliver.

Setting up so many characters does mean that Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! does take some time to get up to speed, but it soon starts delivering a fair few laughs. Sure, it’s crying out in places for Kathy Burke, who starred with Whitehouse and Enfield in the outstanding Harry Enfield and Chums, but the pair nonetheless layer enough good work in here to make a second series a worthwhile venture.

For now, this first outing is a mixed bag, with a lot that doesn’t work, but a fair amount that does. Fortunately, there’s enough within Ruddy Hell! It’s Harry and Paul! to nonetheless make it worth your time. --Jon Foster

Synopsis

Customer Reviews

A nice return for two old mates.
The series which joins old messers Harry and Paul again goes from strength too strength. It starts weakly (but with a few stunning sketches) and gets better and better with each episode.

The comedy is both more mature and more childish. New catchacters like the Posh builders, 'I saw you coming', José Arrogantio (Mourniho micky take), Pik the South African (so ture) and the divorcing couple just ome of the great sketches which get better as the series progresses'. You probably have to be an adult to see the brilliance of many of the observations but if you get it then you will gradually love it. Not as stunningly great as their original series but a more subtile and clever one here.

Fantastic
One of the funniest sketch shows ever. We are still shouting "Oi Dean" at each other. The other review is wrong - the show gets better and better and better. The "I saw you coming" sketches are outstanding. Cannot wait until Nov 26!!!

Ruddy Funny, Fantastically Brill...
The first review at the bottom is wrong. This is hilarious, and I agree, the 'I saw you coming' sketch is brilliant. It was a real treat to see Endfield and Whitehouse together again on the beeb. Dying for this to come out, can't wait!
