DVD Reviews of Clatterford - Season 1
DVD Review: Not Just Jam and Jerusalem
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this series on BBC America and as soon as it was available I ordered it from Amazon. I watch it every couple of months (perfect for a rainy Sunday) and it's still funny. I love the quirky characters and the sense of community created among the women of this small village. A group of very talented, funny ladies (and a few gents) who are a pleasure to spend time with. I wish season two was available - I will purchase it as soon as it is. Highly recommended.DVD Review: Brilliant!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge fan of Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French, and this series just increases my admiration. I will confess at first I had "Not AB-FAB" shock...but as I watched the first two episodes, I began to care about the characters, and to appreciate the subtle humor and joy in Ms. Saunders' writing. She is a genius! Joanna Lumley is hilarious as the old, deaf Delilah Stagg, and Dawn French is wonderful as the village idiot (I use the term with affection)! All the actors are top-notch, the scenery is beautiful, and the theme music is excellent!
People are right when they say this series is no Absolutely Fabulous - that is true, but this series is every bit on par with that series...it just goes in a slightly different direction! I say to anyone who is thinking about this series - sit back and enjoy. Don't assume anything, and don't rush to judgment. Let the show grow on you (I know it will), and you will find that Clatterford is a place you won't want to leave!
DVD Review: Clatterford
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled upon Clatterford while searching for other things in which I might be able to watch Dawn French. I am so glad I stumbled into "Clatterford." Jennifer Saunders has written a very warm, very real series about the lives of women who are a group firstly because they all belong to the Women's Institute, or the Guild as it is called in Clatterford. But they care for each other apart from the Guild and it is in that realm that we have a group of people that you care about too; you want to know about them. There are moments of quiet gentleness that bring you close to tears and there are moments of quiet laughter. (This is not the Jennifer Saunders you may THINK you know) The series captures the human spirit as it truly is. Every character enhances the series; I can't imagine the series without any of them in there. It's a shame American television cannot, or will not, bring this quality of TV to us. I have watched series one at least three times and cannot get enough of it. Jennifer Saunders has a reputation for writing off-the-wall things (think "Ab-Fab"); not so with Clatterford. I can't wait for the rest the series to be released in the States. (And I hope there is more than one more to come.) DVD Review: Clatterford
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not Absolutely Fabulous or the Vicar of Dibley, but it is just as wonderful. It has the shock value of AB and the small village life of Dibley. The characters pull you in in the first episode and you can't get enough of them fast enough. As with AB and the Vicar the dialogue and the comedy are delivered by the best comedic talent in England. This is a stellar cast performing with perfect timing. One can only hope and pray this first season shall not be the last.
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
