Advantages: alot of episodes
Disadvantages: /

...Bo' Selecta is the branchild of Leigh Francis, and features him as Avid Merrion- an obessive celebrity stalker. The show centres around Merrion, as well, as Leigh Francis dressed up as various celebrities - using a rubber mask. The vareity of celebrities that Merrion dresses up as is large. Fore example, there is - Ricky Gervais,Christina Aguilera,Craig David,Michael Jackson,The Osbournes and Mel B. However, the show also features a talking bear, who lives in a treehouse, on hampstead Heath. This is simply Leigh Francis showing his face in a bear suit. Bo' Selecta is therefore, as clearly read, not your average comedy show - it features alot of "celebrity stalking" - from Avid Merrion, and the use of rubber masks. The celebrities used in the show are not real - it is , as said before, Merrion in rubber masks. However... Read review

...Bo Selecta, is the brainchild of Leigh Francis, which shows him starring as his alias, well known for his obsession with celebrities,and his neck brace, Avid Merrion, as well as Leigh Francis dressed up as celebrities, through the use of rubber masks. SERIES 3 Series 3 of Bo'Selecta took a new turn in the fact the series was based around the idea that Merrion was given a contract by Channel 4, to host his own show. Series 3 featured Avid Merrion hosting his own chat show,fronted also by a celebrity guest, which included names like Peter Andre, and Emma Bunton. The chat show segement was split up between sketches featuring all time favourite characters, such as Michael Jackson,and Craig David.

Advantages: So funny.
Disadvantages: Bad in parts.

...I bought this dvd in a double pack with bo selecta series 2 and I can definately recommend buying the both of them. This is british comedy at its best. From Michael Jackson to Marilyn Manson nobody escapes having the fun taken out of them. Ive noticed that with Bo Selecta you either love it or hate it. The only bad thing id have to say about this dvd is that some of the sketch's are just plain not funny. Such as Avid Merrion and his fantasys for celebrities. I think that the other sketches make up for this. Especially one with Claire Sweeney who is releasing an album for christmas with songs such as baa baa black sheep and we wish you a merry christmas. Id have to say that if you dont like comedy where all thats happening is people having fun made of them then this is not for you. Id have to say that after watching this dvd Bo... Read review

Advantages: The ultimate in aerobics with attitude
Disadvantages: Billy Blanks keeps telling you to do just "one more". He lies.

...Tae Bo moves have an element of "in your face" tank-girl style jabs, kicks and punches. Perfect for PMT! If you've had a really bad day at the office/with the kids/with your partner, then Tae Bo Advanced may be the choice for you. It's the best video I've ever used to give a high impact, knackering, de-stressing (but not distressing) workout. However, don't be duped! It's not for the faint-hearted, that's for certain. Within 10 minutes, you'll be working up a sweat. It's not for the vain "I want to look good when I exercise" either. By 50 minutes, you will probably be looking like you have been dragged through a hedge backwards. It's a video which some people will call knackering. Other's may call it character building, not least because when Billy Blanks says "one more time", nine times out of ten he ignores himself... Read review

Advantages: Original, Funny, lots of variety
Disadvantages: Jokes can be repetitive

...Oh Bo Selecta, probably the most prolific comedy series this year. It features lots of well known characters being impersonated such as Michael Jackson (check my bad self!), Craig David (can I get a rewind), Ozzy Osbourne ( f***,f***,f***), David Blaine, Mel B, Britney Spears and many more. Hosted late at night on channel 4, Bo Selecta was not in my list of priority TV. Even to date I still don't watch it on the box but the DVD was thrust in my direction and the interest of comedy (my favourite subject) I decided to watch it. Every episode contains a mixture of the following characters as well as impersonations of stars listed above. Avid: In my opinion, one of the most annoying people in the series. His objective is to get as close as possible to celebrities because 'they are warm' and 'make me do a sex wee'. We see him... Read review
