The Power to great comedy August 2, 2007 P. DATTA (Stockton on Tees, Teesside) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful The team which brought you 80's based comedy Only Fool and Horse, bring another great piece of hilarious comedy called Citizen Smith based in the preceding years 0f the 70's. The DVD features series 1 and 2 of this hit comedy starring Robert Lindsay (from My Family) as the political activist of a revoluntarily. The catchphrase "power to the people" is frequently used throughout the series. br / br /The principal emphasise of the comedy to a large degree is political as it is based on the movement of a group campaigning against their rights. The way it is approached end up in hilarious outcomes, as the point is they are not clever enough and competent to campaign. That is the real beauty of the comedy. This is gives you a real flavour of what to expect and you will be laughing like anything. br / br /Citizen Smith features 13 brilliant episodes in three discs. The packaging to the DVD is attractively done, with a picture featuring the main character in his trademark cap and jacket. Citizen Smith has all the features to promote its status as a great comedy, which is a great script, funny characters and well structured stories. br / br /I like to finish my review with a quote "Power to great comedy". If you love great comedy to really enjoy, watch Citizen Smith series 1 and 2 to get a real feel what the real power of comedy can do for viewers. Power to the comedy January 16, 2006 Ann Booker (Columbia, MD USA) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful I remember this series from my childhood. But now I do laugh with tears. Superb comedy, english humour as its best. Strongly recommended POWER TO THE !!!!!!!! January 1, 2006 Christopher Bishop 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Great to be able to see this series again cos it was one of my favorites growing up.brI was amazed to find out that it only ran 4 years and only 30 episodes for some reason to me it seemed to be on longer.brI remember all those years ago how disapointed i was when the show finaly stopped and not long after that robert lyndsay was in a new series called seconds out which flopped.pAnyway because of Citizen smith i tried to follow lyndsays career and try to watch most things hes ever been in . for example (Get some in) which was before C.S then after seconds out i think he went back to stage work and serious acting and i had not seen much of him until the Horatio hornblower series.brNow i hear that hes back to his sitcom roots with another popular show on TV now but i have not had the honor to see just yet.brAgain great service from Amazon and ive just ordered series 3-4 of citizen smith .brGreat nostalgic TV that brings back so many memories and the precursor of Only Fools and Horses for which i have all the series of. Fantastic material November 10, 2009 JemimaS (England) Had to buy this DVD set after just reading Robert Lindsay's autobiog, Letting Go. I remember this series when it was first out, fantastic material, incredibly entertaining. If you like Robert as Wolfie Smith or as Ben Harper in My Family I'd also recommend buying his book. It's a great read, one of the best books I've read in a while. There's so much more to Robert than I realised. Citizen Smith is just one of his great characters. Fantastic xmas presents.Robert Lindsay Letting Go Showing reviews 1-5 of 6 1 2 Next »
