I've just bought the Brasseye DVD...

...from Amazon just this second.  The first time i watched it was actually the Peado-geddon episode and heard all of the media hullabaloo afterwards.  It was absolutely hilarious and I've never watched anything like it since. Unfortuantley I didn't see any repeats of the program, I was checing TV guides for weeks on end to see if it was going to be repeated.  Just last night i saw Chris Morris on the Alan Partridge and it reminded me about Brasseye.  Is was an impulse buy but I'm sure I've made the right decision.  I don't really know much about the other episodes but I'm sure they will be great.

Well done, you wouldn't be disappointed.

The other episodes are so much better than the special. The DVD is pretty crap but it's obviously worth buying for the episodes. Don't bother listening to the commentary.

Therein lies the difference between the average consumer and the hardcore fan...this guy hasn't seen much Brass Eye and has bought the DVD to see the show...I bet he thinks the DVD is bloody fantastic, and doesn't give a bat's shit that it doesn't have Czech subtitles or whatever =D

Purple Tentacle

A general question.... is the annoying "Brasseye" one-word contraction just a Special thing?

I've seen it a few places, even before the Special. It's just one of those weird things people do, like calling Family Guy "The Family Guy".

Of course, if the show didn't have fans in the first place, it wouldn't have been released.

Yeah, I don't mind everything that was scrapped not being on there but there's one episode you press to watch and it goes to a different one doesn't it? That's just shoddy, people are supposed to check these things.

Oddly enough I was thinking of buying this purely for the episodes, as for the special, the bits with CM talking directly to camera as anchorman are the only ones I can remember making me laugh...

I noticed that, I think it goes to the paedophile episode. Are all of them like that or is it just the ones shipped to the north-east? (assuming you bought it locally. Got mine at Virgin in Newcastle)

It was the first load of them, they redid it with subtitles and a lack of that glitch I think. Someone explained it in a recent thread.

Even the repressing has the glitch.

It only happens on one of my players, but it's annoying.

I got mine in that Virgin on Northumberland Street and it's glitchy.
Lets all boycott the bastards.

I've never quite got what some people have against the BE special.  It's not quite as good as the rest of the series, but it's still damn funny to my mind.  Is it because of the subject matter?

Have a look back through the other pages for the various threads that touch on BES (they're always called things like 'The Worst Thing Morris Has Done' and so on) - it's put quite succinctly in most of those. Basically, for various reasons, a lot of people felt that it fell way short of the mark.
