Come Fly with Me - Series 1 [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

It's often said that Dali as an impressionist painter needed to know how to paint "properly" before he could then paint in his known-for abstract way, for without the understanding of the fundamentals, he could not "bend" and distort them in such a way that they were still familiar to us.The same can be said for this collection of "mockumentary" comedy; the observations that both Lucas and Walliams make and then distort to hilarious comedic effect, based upon the endless airport-based "fly on the all" documentary programmes that still fill our channels even now.They are all there, on show; the camp "personal shopping assistant" Moses, the lady who runs the coffee bar, but always skives off, the gormless baggage-handlers, the leering paparazzi photographers, the money-mad owner of an airline and so many more send-ups of the familiar characters from the "real" shows.It's only a shame that Lucas didn't want to pursue the format any more, as the BBC commissioned a follow-up second series, but although Walliams wanted to do it, Lucas wasn't interested.It's still one of the shows I can watch over and over again, and still find funny.

I must admit that I wasn't that great a fan of 'Little Britain', I personally found it a bit hit and miss, but when this first came on tv I thought I would give it a go, and now at last, I have bought the dvd, which I had kept meaning to do.Making a mockumentary in an airport, where we have had documentary series' before of such things may not sound like it would be funny, but Matt Lucas and David Walliams shows just how much room there is for comedy in such a situation. The characters that they have created work so well, especially as we can relate to them. Who hasn't worked with a character like Precious?, I know I have many a time. We probably all know a racist such as the Immigration Officer, who in this case will stop the legitimate people but quite ridiculously let in dodgy people. Moses for me works, because I actually used to work with someone who looked like him. All the characters we can relate to in one form or another, and we all know what it is like in airports.With a whole host of hilarious characters (who can forget the Japaneses schoolgirls who want to see Martin Clunes?) this is a comedy gem of a series. We have here two discs which show the whole series, they also have subtitles, also you have the Christmas trailer shorts, and a documentary with an interview between the two stars and Mark Lawson, which is well worth watching. All in all this is brilliant, and I am glad that at last I have got the dvd, roll on the second series.

I was never a fan of Little Britain so I can't compare. For me though, this series is just wonderful. The documentary style is perfect, and makes me laugh at real documentaries now when the voiceover is done in the same over-serious way. The characters, especially Precious Little, are wickedly humorous: "got no coorffeee" is now part of our family's vocabulary! And the pointed references to Easyjet are fantastic, with stand-up seats, credit card-accessed fixed-time lifejackets and the Greek owner. Some sketches fall flat and/or are overlong, but try watching Monty Python now and you'll find the same thing. Really, this DVD is just brilliant!

Speedy delivery... always a good thing! If you enjoyed Little Britain and want to get a bit more of Matt and David dressing up as women and using a wide variety of accents then you are sure to appreciate this series.Admittedly this series, for me, is not as funny as Little Britain but it has some equally memorable characters that you will grow to like or dislike (much the same with LB really). This time, the comedy duo have over exaggerated different scenarios and people you might find in an airport setting. Quite often you sit there and wonder where they get the inspiration for these characters but then you think actually there are definitely those sorts of people out there.In summary, a good series to sit and watch and at a fairly decent price as well!

All the channels seem to be pumping out comedy shows and half the time not even bothering to make sure the programmes are funny. 'Come Fly With Me' is brilliant and raises the bar even higher for comedy. I like allsorts of comedy, stand-up, panel shows, character comedy, sketch shows, films, sit-coms, I don't have a prefrence so I am reviewing this fairly and evenly as comedy and not just as a character comedy program. The characters are very funny and the situations are hilarious. Lucas and Walliams seem to have a bit more of a playfulness about them like they had when they made 'Rock Profile'. I felt they lost something when they made 'Little Britian', although I did enjoy it, I certainly don't think 'Little Britian' was their best work. The behind-the-scenes film is really good, an insite into the creators and how they work and create together and how they need each other. Basically this is a brilliant show and if you like Lucas and Walliams other comedy programmes you'll love this. I hope I've been helpful.

The single best thing to have come out of the BBC. Honestly cannot believe how underrated this material is, I intend to re-watch this series for as long as it takes to be able to perfectly recite each episode or until a second series is produced - honestly the latter seems less likely.

Arrived in excellent condition, good value for money, speedy delivery. Great dvd. Funny as always.

Another funny production based in an airport. Great characters and funny scripts. If you love Little Britain you will love this.

Grandi aspettative per questa nuova serie comica del duo Lucas/Walliams, ma alla fine non si è rivelata all'altezza del precedente Little Britian.Il tentativo di staccarsi completamente coi precedenti lavori è stato coraggioso ed in un certo qual modo riuscito, ma i nuovi personaggi non sono all'altezza delle qualità comiche dei due attori britannici, che potrebbero sicuramente far meglio.E' una comicità un po' edulcorata, con personaggi a volte scontati, a volte più riusciti (come il padrone della compagnia aerea low cost "Flylo", forse il più riuscito di tutti assieme al poliziotto razzista del controllo immigrazione...). Forse la messa in onda sotto Natale ed in un canale molto simile al nostro Raiuno ha contribuito all'atmosfera un po' soft, peccato perchè se avessero osato di più sarebbe uscito fuori qualcosa di molto diverso.Rimane in ogni caso una serie divertente e con attori di pregio, da cui in futuro ci si può aspettare di tutto e sicuramente di meglio.

Very political incorrect - wie auch Little Britain.Vielleicht ein wenig eleganter ...Diesmal spielen die Sketche nur an einemenglischen Flughafen. Matt Lucas und David Walliamsbringen einen zum Brüllen, egal ob als 1. Klasse-Stewardess,Kaffeeverkäuferin, koksende Zollbeamten oder Moses,der Fluggastbetreuer.

Wer die verschrobenen Engländer und das Bohei um den "Brexit" mag, wird die Beiden auch mögen.Schon allein die Deutschen Sincron Stimmen von Oliver Kalkofe und Oliver Welke sind das Geld wert. Die sind soo lustig!Wer auf derben Englischen Humor steht ist hier richtig.Mr. Bean darf sich anstellen, in der Schlange.

Wer diesen Humor mag MUSS sich alles von dien beiden Jungs besorgen!! Ich habe so viele Abende mit meiner Frau tränen gelacht!! Und bin echt traurig das es nicht viel mehr davon gibt! Danke an Kalkofe und Welke das ihr diesen Humor nach Deutschland geholt habt!! Wirklich ganz großes Tennis!!

I really wish there was more than one series of this. Work at an airport myself and although some of it is blown up for comedy, I can certainly relate to a lot of the scenes. It takes a certain person to get the humour, but I was laughing my ass off for most of it. They can do so much with only two characters, definitely worth the watch.

Ja was soll man hierzu noch sagen.Verdient die volle Punktzahl.Toller Humor und man kann es sich einfach immer und immer wieder ansehen.Bild- und Tonqualität top usw usw....

Super Lustig echt weiterzuempfehlen. Top Preis für das gebotene.

Ich habe mir auf Grund der little Britain - Serie auch dieses Stück zulegen müssen.Grundsätzlich ist dies guter Stoff, kann jedoch nicht mit little Britain mithalten.Die beiden Aktoren sind in ihrer Schauspielkunst zwar einsame Klasse, jedoch konnten sich meine Lacher wesentlich, im Gegensatz zu deren Vorgänger zurückhalten.Dennoch ist es gut gemacht, aber 5 Sterne verdient es einfach nicht, ich tu mir auch mit den 4 Sternen schon schwer. Eine Bewertung von 3,5 wäre Angemessen.

Sehr stark wie viele Rollen in dieser Staffel vergeben wurden, gibt eigentlich keine Folge die schlecht ist. Die Qualität ist mega stark, schade das die anderen Little Britian nicht auf Blu-ray gibt.

Witzig ist diese Serie schon, aber kein Vergleich zu Little Britain. Es gibt ein paar Charaktere, die wirklich witzig sind wie Fergal, Moses oder Precious aber es fehlt halt eben Vicky Polard oder Andy Pipkin. Aber es lohnt ich trotzdem für jeden, der auf britischen Humor steht.

Serie divertentissima, degna di Little Britain. Da morire dalle risate... Alcune storie sono verosimili, basta prendere un volo Ryanair per trovarsi in situazioni come quelle della compagnia FlyLo della serie.Si segue bene con i sottotitoli in inglese, i dialoghi sono piuttosto brevi e non molto veloci.Consigliatissima!

Mal etwas zum Lachen und Abschalten :)Liebe die beiden. Schade das es von FlyLo nicht mehr von gibt

I'm so glad to have found this dvd, never heard of them doing another show together..they are hilarious!l Done along the same lines as Little Britain but all with different characters you would find in the airport. Very happy to add to my collection!

Super Lustig! Wir müssen noch zum Apple-Shop! Haha!

klsse lustig
