Join your host, TV's Talk Pastry for a bonanza celebration
of Mega-City One's premier lawman - Judge Dredd.
Pastry is privileged to accompany Dredd on two eventful and
action-packed days in the Big Meg. Gain an intimate, never-before-seen
insight into the man behind the helmet. Discover what really
makes Dredd tick...
I
Love Judge Dredd is a misleading title. I had assumed
that the audio was going to be based around a Judge Dredd
story I read in 2000AD many years ago (also called
I Love Judge Dredd). That story had a young woman becoming
increasingly infatuated with the chief lawman after he saved
her life.
Instead
this Big Finish audio production sees a television crew following
Judge Dredd as he goes around his daily job. Talk
Pastry is the nightmare talkshow host, obviously based on
Alan Partridge. Nowhere is this more evident than when he
has a Dredd impressionist on his show who says he has never
done an impression of Pastry as he only impersonates famous
people. This is very similar to the Alan Partridge radio show
where he interviews a Spitting Image impressionist
about the rumours that they are making an Alan Partridge puppet.
As
Pastry takes us on duty with Dredd we meet up with some peculiar
character including the brilliant Brucie Squires (based on
Jimmy Saville) who want to commit suicide to teach his mother
a lesson. We also meet up with some robosexuals (they don't
like to be called hover bandits, apparently) who are fighting
for their right to have sex with their mechanical friends.
The
whole production is played for laughs and I found myself laughing
out loud at two fantastic adverts. One was for the Foundation
Against Recklessness and the other was a parody of a well
known TV ad for the police force.
While
this isn't quite up to the standard of previous audio releases,
it is still provides a well produced hours worth of entertainment.
If you like your Dredd firmly tongue in check then you'll
love this.
