Men Behaving Badly is about two house-mates, Gary and Tony, who are either drinking beer together in their local, or on the couch (still drinking lager). Politically incorrect and unreconstructed, these lads made this classic 1990s comedy a ratings hit. Dorothy and Deborah are their long-suffering other halves.

You can now get the complete set of all series in one DVD boxset.

More About The Show
Written by Simon Nye, Men Behaving Badly was one of the 1990s’ most popular sitcoms. First broadcast in 1992, six series and 42 episodes were made, along with a Christmas special and three final episodes, Last Orders, in 1998. The show moved to the BBC from ITV in 1994 after the first two series.

It stars Martin Clunes as Gary Strang and Neil Morrissey as Tony Smart. Caroline Quentin is quick-witted nurse Dorothy Bishop, Gary’s girlfriend, and Leslie Ash plays Deborah Burton, who lives in the upstairs flat and is always changing her mind about Tony. Other characters include Gary’s ageing colleagues at the burglar alarm company he manages – the spinsterish Anthea and hen-pecked George.

As Gary and Tony revel in their second childhood of hours of TV and mindless conversation, their behaviour puts their relationships in jeopardy.

Gary’s colleagues regularly exasperate him with their old-fashioned ways, while Tony stumbles through a range of jobs after his record stall collapses (literally!).

Dorothy and Gary frequently split up, but always end up back together. Tony has many girlfriends but his true feelings are for Deborah, with whom he is finally in a relationship in series six.

The shift of station and a later timeslot meant, as the BBC put it, the show could have ‘more colourful language and behaviour’. Men Behaving Badly became hugely popular, winning numerous awards.

Invented by funny man Steve Coogan the character Alan Partridge is a TV and Radio Presenter. He has graced our screens and airwaves since the early 90′s. From BBC Radio 4, on to TV and then in 2008 on to stage when Steve did a live tour with Partridge making an appearance, where he has became a life coach.

On this page we have a collection of funny video clips and some of his most famous lines. If you want to feed your love of Alan you can buy the different series on DVD or get the box set for £15.48, alternatively Coogan has a DVD called the complete collection which also features other characters he has done.

Jason Manford is probably best known for being on the comedy panel show 8 Out Of 10 Cats, hosted by Jimmy Carr, but he is mainly a stand-up comedian.

He hasn’t been around for too many years but is already a very popular comedian. He talks about topical things and the general things blokes talk about (like football!), with a great sense of humour. Jason’s first DVD Live At Manchester Apollo is very highly rated and can be picked up at bargain prices!

Here are some of his funniest jokes + videos:

How he looks – “what’s this fat Michael Owen doing”

Talking about footballers – “you’re on 60grand a week, if I think your a nobhead, I’ll tell ya!”

Weather – “the weather in Manchester, it’s like the muslims in iraq, it’s either Sunni or it’s Shiite”

Tickets are free – “is anybody in from Liverpool? Oh right thought we might have priced you out”

About the recession – “i’ve seen you before, you used to work at Woolworths, nowhere to take that pick’n'mix knowledge is there”

Money – “I’ve stopped tipping, not flytipping, I’ll always do that”

About tipping when eating out – “another problem you’ve got is you can’t give an adult a pound, you may as well go ‘there you go mate get yourself some sweets’.”
