• Stella Street - Series 1 - Complete

  Stella Street
  
  This is one of those increasingly rare phenomena: a simple idea for a funny show.
  
  It"s not based on a "new" or "clever" idea or (heaven help us) "concept". I"m getting tired of shows telling us how unique they are, before they"ve even started with their incessant, "kooky" background music. (Pushing Daisies immediately springs to mind...)
  
  Even though the impressions may be spot on (Mick Jagger is fantastic, that voice going up and down an octave!), with the dodgy wigs etc. you can"t quite believe that within each 10 minute episode you are sucked into the whole premise and find you just need to watch one more...and one more...and one more to see what happens next.
  
  You can"t analyse it; it sounds questionable on paper - people (badly!) dressed up as Hollywood stars living in the same street in Surbiton - it"s simply funny.
  
  This is really clever stuff, witty, fast (you"ll find this DVD value for money, to watch over and over; I still see things I"ve missed), and very, very funny.
  As is often the case, the first series is the cracker, still good after that but go for this one to start with. Something you"ll keep coming back to. (And no, it hasn"t dated one bit!)
