All eight episodes of the first series are included, and tempting though it is, we’d recommend that you curb your enthusiasm and don’t try to do the whole lot in one sitting – It’s a little like overdosing on Monty Python – after two or three episodes on the trot, the brain starts to get acclimatised, and the shows take on a surreal kind of predictability – we’d advise you watch in short doses… in that way, you can really get the most of what Lucas and Walliams are offering.
