 Do not buy - Contains a rootkit May 5, 2008
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I'm a very big fan of the show and that's why I bought the collectors' edition.
However, when I inserted the dvd in my computer and looked at the contents of the dvd I noticed that it tries to automatically install a rootkit without any user intervention. This kind of behavior is not even legal.
We as customers are getting punished for buying it while pirates provide it for free without malware.
I won't buy dvd's anymore from Channel4 in the future.
The technical stuff:
The DVD's contain Macrovision ActiveReach RipGuard technology. There are 3 hidden files (autorun.inf, 70Z58O4I.exe, RGASDEV.SYS) that, when installed, stop people from creating a legal backup copy for personal use.
There is no way to uninstall this program therefore it gets labeled as a rootkit:

Being what one could call an 'expert' on comedy, and no, not a pedant, not at all, that would be ridiculous wouldn't it really to say that having never met me, i would say that, having viewed this perhaps great certainly momentuous, modern televisual manifestation,i can safely say that it has well, tainted me, it has made me what i am...and so there it is, there...thank you..thank. you..you may have thought i was actually, well no, actually, no...there..there, thank you.

This unique and courageous venture on the part of Victoria Pile is a tremendous effort. A completely off-beat collection of rapid-fire scenes tied to a plotline which could be summed up in a matter of minutes, but manages to run for two series and a special. This is because the story is second place to the exposure of the many characters, hilariously realised by actors willing to do anything in the pursuit of comedy. In spite of frequent vulgarity and some truly nasty streaks, all the staff invoke a degree of sympathy which keeps you rooting for some happy endings - but life's not like that! All the cast are outstanding, but Mark Heap remains a standout as Consultant Radiologist Alan Statham. I doubt we'll see the like of Green Wing again - highly recommended.
Sketch writers proving they can write a good story January 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think I just said pretty much all I can say above, this is not just a great comedy that veers into sketch format on occasion, the characters grow and intertwine. This could've gone on for seasons and still have been a good comedy but instead they stopped it early which I thnk preserves it as a great piece of storytelling. Funnier than Scrubs and a better story than The Office, genius.
