Winner of two BAFTA's, two Royal Television Society awards and two British Comedy awards, The Fast Show saw a breathless procession of ludicrous, sharp and lunatic characters unleashed on the BBC...

The BBC has sent through the third season of The Fast Show for us to review - which was nice. Now, reviewing this DVD is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman. First you have to carefully get the two spherical objects out of their protective packaging, making sure not to scratch them, and then you just sit back and enjoy the visual treat on offer... I'm sorry, I've just come.

The comedy in this collection is very dark. In fact, it's almost black. Black! Black! Help me mother! I am the Goblin King! I could go on like this, but you might ask me to get my coat, so I think I'll stop now.

Season three of The Fast Show sees a new collection of characters, including the 13th Duke of Wymbourne, No Offence, Taff Lad and the Hearty Hikers, being introduced to help keep the show fresh. But fear not, classic characters, like Swiss Toni, Dave Angel Eco-Warrior and the Posh Cockneys are still there, as are old favourites including Suits You, Channel 9, Colin Hunt and Ted and Ralph.

This two disc collection is incredibly good value for money. Eight 30 minute episodes and one hour long Christmas special makes this collection a must own. Okay, there many not be any extras to speak of, but who cares. The episodes alone are well worth £18 of anyone's money.

If you like great comedy then this collection will suit you - it's brilllliantttt!
