Customer Reviews of Girls on Top Set 1
Not completely lacking I thought that overall, this series was worth buying. The sound problem is fixed..for those of you wondering. As for the series, Ruby Wax's character is the only complaint I have..she was a bit irritating, the series is not laugh out loud funny like Ab Fab, but if your a hardcore Ab Fab or French and Saunder's Fan, then you'll want to add this to your collection. The episodes and characters grow on you after you watch them a few times.
It's not completely lacking..more of a "collector's item" but worth having..but just so you know the episodes are not in order..the company that made this dvd (BFS), is not the brightest..
The dvd quality is fine, the sound is fine, but the picture flickers a few times here and there..nothing really noticeable except that the same trivia is on set one and two.
Great show, marginal sound quality
Despite many reviewers complaining about poor sound quality, I went ahead and bought this DVD set from a local store (I was going to rent it first, but of course, no one had it to rent!). Yes- the sound quality is lacking, but being a hard-core Ullman/Saunders/French fan, as well as a fan of Britcoms, I had to have it. "Girls on Top" is basically the lasses answer to "The Young Ones" (which starred Jennifer Saunders' husband Adrian Edmondson as Viv)about 4 roomates (including the only American Ruby Wax, who has also had a cameo appearance on "Ab Fab")who each have their own wacky personalty. The difference between this and other "kooky" American sitcoms is that British humor is quick and sly- rather than in your face "ha-ha" funny. The scripts are not quite as clever as "Tracy Takes On...", "Absolutely Fabulous" or "French & Saunders". But keep in mind that most actors don't hit their stride in their first movie/series. Still, it's a funny show, and how can you resist all the talent? If you can find a place to rent it, you might want to try it first and decide if the price is worth it to you. If you're a die hard fan, however, you'll probably want this for your collection.
A must for French and Saunders completists
Since I'd been hoping to find this show on video or (better) DVD, I was delighted finally to be able to buy the complete series. Other reviews that mention poor quality audio should not concern you: I have both sets and the audio is fine for the age of the program.
Video quality is satisfactory.
If you haven't seen this show, you won't find the sophistication of AbFab, but if you like Rude Girl shows in general this should appeal to you. Ruby Wax is brassy and loud (revealing a lot about her real upbringing, too, if you read her autobiography "How Do You Want Me?"). Dawn French is bossy, and Jennifer Saunders catatonic. My favourite is the perenially shallow Candice, played by Tracey Ullman.
If female comedy is your thing, you won't be disappointed.
