DVD Reviews of Clatterford - Season 1
DVD Review: Clatterford
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely hilarious. Just love Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders anyway so this was icing on a cake. Makes me laugh so much and Joanna Lumley is a sight to see. Sorry she didn't go into the second series as she was one of the funniest in the show.DVD Review: What Intelligent, well written, fabulously acted television can be!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I think this is in the top of the best of the best of television programming. I'm adding his opinion, as some might call this series a "chick flick series" but we wouldn't agree with that. It's a series that an intelligent, thoughtful adult will like - and there are plenty of men who qualify for that designation.
I don't know how to keep my superlatives under control - the writing is amazing for a start. Jennifer Saunders has outdone herself - she's managed to take on some serious subjects under the guise of humor, and she pulls it off spectacularly. These stories simply must be the result of intelligent observation of fellow human beings - warts and kindnesses, follies and wisdom - written by someone who knows how to write. Then these brilliant scripts are given to actors who can, follow me now, actually act! They create well rounded, fully realized human beings. We are with them all the way. We like them! We empathize with them. Most of us have known people like them, and if not, would very much like to do so. And we appreciate that they care for each other, and despite eccentricities, support each other through the tough times of life. In a believable way, mind you. The people are congruent all the way through and the scripts tell stories that flow naturally and easily from the characters. No problem handing over that "suspension of disbelief" in this case.
I can't leave out the amazing Joanna Lumley - honestly, I laughed every time she came on the screen. And there is a scene between James and his former headmistress involving a pap smear that is maybe the funniest thing ever performed on television. I can't even think about it without breaking into chuckles. The script is beyond wonderful and the actors do it justice with every word and facial expression. Thank you so much - the world doesn't always allow for a good belly laugh, and if I could, I'd anoint you with every award possible for this scene alone. And it isn't alone!
I can't recommend this DVD enough. I have told myriad friends and relatives and done everything I can to get it out and about and seen in the states. By the way, do you know how many times I've used the words "intelligent" and "television" in the same sentence? Maybe 5 times ever?! Okay, maybe 6 times, but that may be pushing it. See this series. Treat yourself. And thank you, Jennifer Saunders - for this you deserve to be remembered forever - this is way better than anything you've done previously - and that's going some!
DVD Review: Delightful
Summary: 4 Stars
This series is full of understated humour and character driven stories, which may turn off AbFab fans and those expecting French & Saunders like theatrics. I say give it a chance. This series is sweet and funny. The series is filled with great actresses and the writing is done well. I can see members of my own local churches women's fellowship in each of these characters. It may seem like a mundane series, but it really showcases small town life and the women in them, funnier and better than any reality show could. I really grew to love this show and I can't wait to purchase series two.DVD Review: LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a few episodes to warm up to season one of this BBC comedy. It has veteran actors Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and Joanna Lumley in it. Being used to the outrageousness of "Absolutely Fabulous" and the "Vicar of Dibley" this show is more restrained and in its own way, funny. How Jennifer Saunders can create so many rich, original characters is amazing to me. Jennifer takes a supporting role and lets Sue Johnston take the limelight here with a wide array of complex, funny, supporting characters. This series "Jam & Jerusalem" is renamed "Clatterford" for American viewers. So become a member of the Clatterford Guild and join in on the fun!
Description of Clatterford - Season 1
A hilarious and heartwarming comedy from the creators of Absolutely Fabulous, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley. Welcome to Clatterford, a small town big enough to have a good cross section of people, local shops and a late night convenience store. It's also small enough where everyone knows everybody's business but doesn't talk about it unless asked. Cue the Women's Guild, who aren't afraid to ask. Their topical meetings -- ranging from 'How to solve world poverty' one week to 'the benefits of using marrow in jam' the next -- are the center of village life, like it or not.Fans of Calendar Girls and the many productions of French and Saunders (creators of Absolutely Fabulous) will enjoy Clatterford: The Complete Season One. Centered on the daily and social calendars of the village women, Clatterford features unique characters, comical by observation with the wonderful human traits we can all relate to. The women make jam and have meetings, but it's what goes on outside of those meetings where we really get to know the women. Leading a cast of familiar faces, including Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, is Dawn French, who portrays a mentally challenged woman, Rosie. The excellent writing in this series is apparent in an episode featuring Rosie and Margaret, her dueling personalities, fighting over the religious importance of a potato supposedly with the face of Jesus. Rosie is about as close as we get to the zaniness of Ab Fab, since the humor here is more subtle overall and weaved throughout, posing as normalcy. Also subtle are the dramatic moments and serious undertones, which elevate this series above being just another "Britcom."--Rachel Moss
