Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach [DVD]

Echo Beach and Moving Wallpaper, seperatly I would rate Moving Wallpaper 5/5 and Echo Beach 3/5 so overall I went for 4/5.Moving Wallpaper is a great, initative and witty comedy. Well put together this comedy provides many laughs and is a joy to watch. Ben Miller is excellent as producer Jonathen Pope, with his excellent mix of stupidness and funniness he fits in so well with his mis-cap set of writters. All the cast fit well together and the perfect mix of need to write scripts and trivial events provides laughs a plenty throughout the episodes. A pure joy.Then you go on to Echo Beach, it goes well with Moving Wallpaper but on its own as a soap I dont think it would make it. The storylines can be quite weak and pointless, and without a star studded cast, sexy scenes and the views of Cornwall I dont think anyone would have tuned in to watch this. Although it wasn't really bad it could have done with improvement.Overall, I reccomend buying this boxset because you will get an excellent comedy, and as an accomplice a soap which is good to watch.

Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach were an unlikely set of programmes for a Friday evening on ITV. I think that too many viewers separated Echo Beach which was broadcast straight after the Moving Wallpaper slot and saw them as different programmes rather than a unique experiment. It's great that they flow together on the DVD so all of the jokes carried from one programme to the other are very clear whether its a prop or a line. The cast of Echo Beach were brave to play it for straight and its a shame that more people missed out and the treat. Worth getting on DVD to watch at your convenience but allow a full hour each time in order to see the pair of programmes.

Loved moving wallpaper,echo beach not so much,thanks

Arrived in good condition, so far plays well and no issues!

Brilliant and brilliantly original. I think it's one of the most creative and well executed ideas that has happened to British comedy for a long time. The soap is brilliant when considered next to the moving wallpaper, and the latter is classic comedy. Fantastic casting, great writing and even better portrayals of writers. It's just a shame that it didn't go to a second series.

I know Echo Beach wasn't officially a success and only one series was made but I loved it and loved seeing the scenes of Looe and Watergate Bay in Cornwall. Jason Donovan is still gorgeous! Moving Wallpaper was one of the funniest things on TV and complemented Echo Beach really well.

I really enjoyed this series, when it popped up on a programme the other day I was wondering if there was a DVD, I found this , an absolute gem, really fantastic price, delivery was quick too

Good stories.
