Please do yourself a favour and don't waste your time and money by buying this DVD/Game!

I bought the DVD, paid for postage to Australia and found (like everyone else that's reviewed it) that there's a fault. The DVD freezes and you're left with a blank screen.

So I got onto Amazon and complained. They sent me another one - I wait for it to come and - of course it froze as well. Lucky me - Amazon reimbursed me for the cost of the DVD (not for the postage though).

Amazon knows from all the reviews that there is a fault with these discs -yet they continue to sell them.

Amazon should be ashamed for continuing to waste people's time and money!

Little Britain, or Big Cash-in?

Like most, I am a fan of the show, and this was bought for me. I expected to like it,if just for the '2 hours of new and exclusive footage'. Unfortunately, the game is extremely slow, repetitive, and the characters quickly get irritating.
There are a few bits that make you chuckle, and the metal case the game came in is nice, but that aside, its an average quiz game.
Buy the dvd's of the show, or a proper quiz game, but leave this alone.

Could be better!

At the moment I am not finding the actual game too bad, although after playing it only 3 times I am already getting bored of the repetitive comments from all the characters.

When playing this game the first two times, the dvd crashed leaving me with a white screen and unable to do anything, this can be highly annoying when you have taken your time listening to the annoying comments to get to the final round. I thought at first that this must be a problem with my copy but after reading comments from other people I have realised that it is a common problem.

I have been determined to get to the very end as a winner to see what the "mystery" prize would be, expecting it to be a clip of little britain maybe previously unseen, instead I was dissappointed to discover that I was rewarded with a "dance" from mrs de veer.

This game would have been so much better if it was quicker overall with no pauses between rounds leaving you thinking "Is it going to crash again?" Also a larger variety of character comments are needed, how many times do i need to hear "That was the right answer, the right answer, your answer was right!"?

If you are looking for a fun interactive quiz then I wouldn't recommend you choose this one!

Useless %^@(^£^"$ (rude word of your choice to be added here)!!!!

I am EXTREMELY disappointed I have tried playing this game 3 times each time it has crashed, so have many other peoples (see other reviews!)!!! I have tried (since the beginging of January) contacting GRANADA VENTURES (ITV DVD) LTD. about this, no-one has had the decency to reply or even acknoweledge my e-mails....I have no argument with Amazon as they only supply the product. If this is the way GRANADA VENTURES (ITV DVD) LTD. do business I cannot therefore recommend ANY of their products!!! As for rating it i can't rate it at all as i am unable to play the game but 1 star for Amazons quick delivery!! As it seems there is a production fault with this product, why has there not been a recall as it is obvious that so many people have complained and received a faulty product, surely this is a Trading Standards matter this product has been sold as working and it clearly does not. I am going to contact my local Trading Standards Office, I have already contacted BBC Watchdog - I suggest everyone with this problem does the same!!

Very disappointing...yeah, I know!

I got this as a present for Christmas and, to be honest, I'm disappointed with it. Like many of the other reviewers here, I have a problem with the game crashing near the end (which is, for obvious reasons, no help at all).

As a game itself, this is painful. It's not as drawn out as the horribly slow Deal Or No Deal DVD game, but it's not fantastic either. Each question is followed by a sound bite (which takes time to load) and a video clip (which takes more time to load). The whole process is slow, annoying and breaks up the flow of gameplay. Incidentally, there's also no music except the TV show's theme which crops up only at the start and between levels (possibly at the end, I'll never know because it keeps crashing!) so the game's also deathly dull with nothing either visually or aurally stimulating.

The rounds themselves are baffling. The main issue is in the questions. I realise these games have to be marketed towards people who aren't fans of the show, but why not do it like Red Dwarf's DVD game, Beat the Geek (wherein you get to choose the kind of question you get- general knowledge, viewer or geeky superfan)? As it is, this game is almost Little Britain free, aside from the use of the characters.

Speaking of the characters, they quickly become very tedious. If you aren't already tired of them, you soon will be upon playing this game. There are only so many times in one minute you can stomach Carol coughing and saying "Computers says no"- within each character's level, there doesn't even seem to be any variety in the messages you get when you answer correctly (or incorrectly). Add to that, there are only so many times in a short space you can laugh at Tom Baker going "Ooh!" or making a "goodbye" joke as he does in the series.

You can't choose the levels you play if you just want to do it for leisure- there are 15 levels (plus a bonus level with Anne that crops up), of which 7 are randomly chosen each time you play. Fact is, though, I didn't really ask for this for Christmas to answer questions on travel or food. I just wanted a fun Little Britain game. Sadly, I don't have the patience to keep trying this to see if one day I'll get lucky and see it to the end.

My advice to you would be to avoid this game and either buy the excellent Little Britain Live Tour DVD or, if you really want a TV-based DVD game, grab Red Dwarf: Beat the Geek.
