let me begin this review by say that universal dvd release of this film be beneath contempt . it exactly the same a the polygram vhs release from 1993. there be absolutely no extras none . not even scene selection or subtitle . the whole film play in one chunk and and that it . the picture and sound quality be terrible one can but wonder how different thing might have be if anchor bay or network have get their hand on it . because this film deserve it . derek and clive and the notoriously filthy alter ego of peter cook and dudley moore and be outrageous enough to give the pc militia nightmare and keep the rest of u roll on the floor in hysteric for week . to give you some idea of what the character be like and peter cook describe them a strongly tory and probably mechanic . they like a drink and be embarrass by woman and think the world go mad . life end for them when the big bopper die . they hate have to pay tax when the country go down the pan . in short and theyre a dead on and mercilessly funny spoof of every drunken pub bigot you have ever meet the boozy know all who will talk absolute rubbish on any give subject for at least ten minute at the slight provocation . we have all be there . this film and shot on a shoestring ( which might explain the poor quality they should have shoot it on film instead ) in documentary style by russell mulcahy and nic knowland ( who go on to helm the far less amusing highlander and cat respectively ) at the townhouse studio in london and capture cook and moore in the process of record the final derek and clive album . the language be appal and the attitude indefensible and the subject matter spectacularly inappropriate and and the pair of them seem to be have a whale of a time and even when theyre at each other throat ( which happen a lot ) . cook be on record a say he find it therapeutic to play such a scabrous and belligerent character and whilst moore respond to the exercise in the spirit of a naughty schoolboy and revelling in the excitement of dirty word and crude humour . it definitely not for all taste and but it perfectly capture the spirit of freewheel anarchy that define derek and clive at their best one wish the recording session for come again ( their 1977 album ) have be film a well and if only to see moore drunk and hysterical during the infamous my mum song . all in all and a slice of pitch black comedy history that need a digital overhaul to drag it into the 21st century . be you listen and universal .
