The second series of Saxondale is even better than the first. Episode 1 is realy a summation of the 1st series character of Tommy Saxondale from there on his vista expands and takes in more characters in a broader scope of situations and the comedy is all the better for it.
It looks like the BBC will not take a 3rd series and so MacClennan and Coogan's scripts have everything thrown into them.
Commision editors at the BBC seem to have lost their marbles; while some idiot in the drama department writes a cheque for the diabolical Bonekickers another puts the book away in the comedy department.
Saxondale, it seems will go the way of Hyperdrive - loveable and funny characters consigned to the dustbin marked 'Comedy Gold'.

The agree with the previous reviewer in every respect so i won't add anything regards the actual show.
However the content of this release is a tad lacklustre. When it's release was first announced i couldn't find anything regards extra material so i was pleasantly surprised to read, on the rear of the case, that there is a commentary, however my delight was short-lived. It turns out that a commentary was recorded for one episode only. A shame really as Coogan always seems to have something of interest to say.
The only other notable extra is an interview with MacLennan and Mr Coogan, but that too seems to be over just as soon as it's begun.
Still worth the price as Saxondale Series 2 is excellent but don't expect very much in the way of bonus stuff.

The dvd of the second series of Steve Coogan's fantastic sitcom Saxondale is eagerly anticipated in Sept 08.
For my money, it's the most rewarding character Coogan has ever embodied; yes Partridge was brilliant, but this is a different kettle of sitcom character, a more realistic and believable role with genuine warmth, if you want easy laughs stick with Norfolk's finest, if you want more subtle humour this is the place to be and the second series is even better than the first.
A must have for all comedy fans and wrangler pro rodeo green flash pump wearing prog rock fans!
