Frank Sidebottom's Fantastic Shed Show (1992)
Fantastic ladies and gentlemen...thank you!
This has to be the worlds best under-rated British T.V program! Sadly there were only ever 6 episodes made and of them only 3 episodes were placed on to video....and that video now is like gold dust!!! i myself have only recently obtained a copy off e-bay (fantastic!). infact nearly all 'Frank Sidebottom' memorabilia is virtually impossible to obtain as he had such a small fan club. but that is off the point. if by some miracle you DO obtain a copy of this unlikely to be repeated programme. it is a work of art! Frank's off the wall style and disturbing facial expressions make this a cult comedy classic. done on a shoe-string budget and filmed around the Manchester area, Franks fantastic shed show is a fantastic chat show filmed infront of a live audience with Z list guests.....my verdict: 10/10!!! Thank you
24 Hour Party People (2002)
shows the madchester scene through the eyes of it's creator
there is mention of 1 scene in this review but it isn't really a spoiler
some american reviewers panned this movie solely on the thick accents that they made no attempt to understand. sure the accents are a bit harsh but thats just adds to the realism of the movie. people also said that some of the scenes were pointless and unfunny, i.e the pigeon killing scene. but what the don't understand (and never will) is that this shows the madness that put the mad in 'madchester'. but having said that, anyone who wasn't there or shows has interest in the music it would be best to skip this little number from your collection, if you want a british music film stick with rocky horror, tommy or quadrophenia.
