Perfect World

This show is ace! It's soooo unfair cos you can't get it on DVD or Video and it's not being shown on TV at the moment so I have no way of watching it! I wanna see it! Perfect World is so hilarious, the character Bob Slay is ace...It's just...really cool..Don't really have anything else to say, except that this IS good, and this IS funny, and if you don't agree...You're missing something!

After falling upon this show one late night, I was reasonably impressed with the overall content and comedy of the show, and after tuning in again, I was utterly hooked on it. Paul Kaye (played by Bob Slay) is a classic comedic character. The shows' comedy is original and truly amusing. Each actor plays their role perfectly and all have their own antics and personalities. Paul gets into some interesting situations over the episodes, all extremely clever and comical. The only complaint I have is that it's not played often enough, because I think it has the capability of being a lot more sucessful world-wide than it is.

i would love to see series two of perfect world again, i haven't seen it since it aired on bbc2. i currently own series 1 and think it is absolutely fantastic. Paul Kaye is an absolute comedy genius and deserves to go very far. what a show, it doesn't come funnier than this. Bob Slay is one of the best characters in a sitcom, he's cruel, ruthless, and very funny. he is always putting himself in a corner but at the end he always comes out on top. his hapless assistant Maggie gets the brunt of Bobs cruelty, but she holds her own in a battle of sneakiness. Vaughan is another character who gets thrown to the sharks by Bobs ruthlessness, and he rarely has any kind of comeback. the marketing director however thinks of Bob as a son and is somewhat mentally challenged when it comes to behaving appropriately. all in all this is comedy writing and acting at its very best and there should definitely be a third series.

I agree with the previous review, this was a great show, and the fact it didn't get great ratings surprised me, for some reason I always love characters who are complete gits; Bob Slay, Alan B'stard, JR Ewing etc.

Paul Kaye fresh from his Dennis Pennis character being just as obnoxious, his boss is just as hilarious, a sex mad fiend who can never see Slay for who he really is.

Actually the first series is available on BBC Video to buy, but no mention of it being released on DVD, will just have to record it off the TV onto DVD when it next comes round, that'll teach the BBC not to release it! ;-)

When the series "Perfect World" came out, I loved it.

Our local station BNN showed "Dennis Pennis" episodes and also then interviewed Mr. Paul Kaye. Great guy. Series 1 was top notch. Successful businessman, hot girlfriend, nice plots, etc. Series 2 however disappointed me somewhat. He lost his girlfriend, his hair grew and it seemed he didn't care as much anymore. Not the pinnacle of success anymore.

A real shame, because after the first series I thought they really had something. So too bad, they couldn't keep the standard and continue on for another few years.
