Bostock's Cup (1999 TV Movie)

Buy Direct from ITV

[10/10 · 28 July 2004]

.....whoops - looks like it's gonna cost you a whopping £198.00 to buy a copy (either DVD or Video format)from ITV direct.

Ouch.

Sorry about this, but IMDB won't let me submit this comment unless it has at least 10 lines, so...........

blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah blahblah !!

!!! BUY THIS MOVIE FROM ITV DIRECT !!!

[10/10 · 15 July 2004]

As you can see I've submitted 2 comments about this show since 1991....and no, ITV have still not made it available for general release.

HOWEVER, I recently contacted ITV to see if there was any way of getting hold of a copy, and this was their reply.......

"Unfortunately there are no plans for this programme to be released on DVD/video. You can however, purchase copies from our Viewers Requests dept. Their email address is: [e-mail] ".

Hope you all now get the chance to enjoy this classic short comedy again.

STILL NOT RELEASED YET ???????????

[10/10 · 7 October 2003]

OK...time for a bit of a rant I think. It's been 2 flamin' years since I submitted my original comments praising this top-rated footy comedy.....and the damn thing still hasn't made it to video or DVD (or for that matter even been repeated on the telly !!) !!!!!

Does anyone out there know why not ? Has there been a BBC-style error whereby the original copy has been deleted/mislaid/wiped ??

Listen up you lot in charge of ITV - whack this on to DVD now !!! Do you even realise how funny this programme was ? It makes "Mike Bassett" look as bad as the current pants Spurs team.

Rant over. For the moment.

Chelmsford 123 (1988–1990)

I AGREE !!

I agree with your man above. This was funny. Rory McGrath show glimpses of his humour in "They Think It's All Over"......in Chelmsford 123 he has run riot. He is a very clever bloke. For a hairball gooner.

So why hasn't this been released in any format ? I've been after this for ages - similar to the equally brilliant Bostock's Cup with Neil Pearson. I only hope they haven't been deleted.

Hilarious, BUT........

[10/10 · 7 August 2001]

As a reviewer has already commented, this made for tv comedy is up there amongst the best football parodies ever. But....having failed to video it when it was first aired, I now find that it isn't around in any format. OK, so this has only polled 17 votes to date, but a 9+ average does seem to suggest something special. Basically, I suppose it's a case of tough luck if you missed it 'cos it's no longer available to view !! Aaaaaaaargh.

Guest House Paradiso (1999)

I Was Hoping For Better.....

[6/10 · 26 November 2000]

I'm sorry, I love Rik and Ade's stuff....but for me this film was complete pants. The series 'Bottom' was hilarious, but unfortunately they just don't seem to be able to carry their success onto the big screen.

At times I felt that Rik had run out of script and was ad-libbing,and in general the film seems to be a sub-standard Fawlty Towers meets Bottom.

The only truly funny moments were a lengthy Bottomesque fight scene and, to a lesser extent, Eddie on his moped.

Even worse than Bottom Live 2.
