Phoenix Nights - Series 1 And 2 (DVD 2003)

The characters are spot-on, (my wife is from Manchester, and i have seen these characters in real pubs & clubs up there.) Peter Kay has a knack of recreating characters from real people up north. He adds another great touch by inviting real people into the club as the audience in some of the scenes. A new great british classic. This series was spawned from 'That Peter Kay Thing' & went on to produce 'Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere'. A must for any Peter Kay fan.

Phoenix Nights is extremely funny played by Peter Kay, Patrick McGuiness, Dave Spikey and many more although there isn't many episodes each one is very funny on it's own.

Brought for my son as a christmas present and sure he will want to watch it as soon as possible. Another one to add to his Peter Kay collection. A very funny guy will put everyone in a really good mood, brilliant.

These are some of the funniest 1/2 hour videos available at the moment-they can be watched over and over again without losing any enjoyment.

I have bought a few box sets of Phonenix Nights as the make wonderful presents to my family and will continue to recomend this to one and all.

I love Peter Kay but had never seen his Phoenix Nights Series so once I obtained it off of Ebay there was no stopping me! It is such a realistic take on 'everyday' life within the working mens clubs. I laughed so much, many of the 'jokes' are very subtle and many you don't actually discover at first until you have viewed it once more. For me it is one of my favourite comedy series. Peter Kay plays 'Brian Potter' wheelchair bound club owner fantastically and I am in no doubt there are very many characters out there like him. The cast are a dream to watch and well chosen for the parts they play. Thanks Peter for this great series, what would really put the icing on the cake is a 3rd Series...but at least we have Series one and two to keep us entertained if and when this does happen!

funniest sitcom since porridge, technicaly brilliant . characters , situations and ofcourse the scripts, great to own on dvd because you could never tire of watching it.

I decided to buy the DVD as I missed the series when it was on TV. It arrived promptly and was well packaged. I've really enjoyed watching it.

I love Phoenix Nights, its great. Peter Kay what a comedy legend! Also i love Patrick McGuinness (aka lord loverocket) !!!

Exellent use of lines and puns. The more you watch it the more you notice.

The use of characters and props in one to remember. Brian potter is exellent and Kenny senoir is quality with his lies.

Highly recommended once you have watch one you will be hooked.

I suggest you dont watch too many at once, space them out over a couple of days and you will be hooked.

Phoenix Nights is soooo funny. Everything about it is great. You won't be disappointed. Peter Kay must be the funniest man alive!!!!! He's a genius!

As with "That Peter Kay thing" and "Max and Paddys road to nowhere" this is where Peter Kay shines. Playing several characters throughout the two series this is amongst some of the funniest British sitcoms ever created. Peter Kay would not be out of place among Ronnie Barker Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper as one of Britains greatest comedians.

Tha story centers around the Phoenix club and the people who work there. Kay plays the ownner Brian Potter and Max the bouncer (and later plays the return of Keith Lard the fire safety inspector from That Peter Kay thing). Dave Spikey plays Jerry Sinclair the clubs compere and various people you will recognise from other Brit sitcoms appear as employees and club regulars.

Amongst some of the funniest moments are the turns appearing at the Phoenix which include a racist folk group and a lancashire cowboy act complete with horse!

10/10 top stuff!

Bought this for my sister who had watched my copies and thought it was the funniest thing she had seen in years. Not liked by everyone, my wife and daughter dont find it funny at all but my son, sister and brother-in-law sat with tears rolling down our faces watching it. Some scenes are not for young viewers as can be quite crude in places, but certainly very funny. Series 2 is better than Series 1 but both are very good
