 Superb June 26, 2008
I love it all- the only downside was that Bewilderness and Cosmic Jam had the wrong titles written on the disc and thus did not correspond with the films they actually were! Oh well :) Charming little quirk perhaps...
Excellent purchase though!
 Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! December 27, 2007

I was introduced to Bill Bailey by a friend who loned it to me off the cuff, to be honest these are the best DVDs I have ever borrowed. To me comedy beats all other genres it keeps you upbeat and happy. Bill Bailey brilliantly combines my passions of humour and music. His piano playing skills are amazing.
As afore mentioned some of the jokes are re-used but really its just another excuse to laugh your head off. I would recommend these DVDs to most people as together they are a masterpiece, whoever I would recommend borrowing or renting them first as it doesn't suit everyones sense of humour. Fans of Black Books will love these with their random, quirky humour.
Unfortunately amazon seems to have run out of these and the 'New and Used' being sold are a rip-off. I bought this for 25 when amazon originally sold it.
Bloomin' Brilliant Bill Bailey Box-set December 17, 2007
Bill is hilarious but 52.95 to 69.95? What gives? Has this set gone out of print? HMV is knocking them out for 20 right now (Dec 07). They also have Black Books for 15 - Bill is great in that, too. No, I don't work for HMV; I just don't like OTT prices.
Brilliant... but why do I need 2 copies?? November 25, 2007
I have Bewilderness and Part Troll and they still make me laugh out loud after watching each of them half a dozen time. Bill's quirky and unique sense of humour together with his undoubted but underused musical talent cannot be compared with anyone else. If you're a Billy Bragg or Chris de Burgh fan you will (if you have a sense of humour)love (or, if you have a failing sense of humour) hate Bailey's tributes to them! Watch out for his wondeful Chaucerian poem among many other highlights.
But, now my gripe - WHY WHY WHY do I have to buy a two or three disc set (including one or two DVDs I already own) in order to get the Cosmic Jam DVD? Come on Bill, make it available on its own, please.
Value for money from a great comic November 1, 2007

Bill Bailey has always had the ability to make me laugh with his flights of fantasy - the 'Argos Book of Dreams' is one concept that immediately springs to mind. But this set is worth buying if only for the wonderful 'romantic ballad' where love goes spectacularly wrong on a cosmic scale (that poor duck!) which reduces me to helpless tears of laughter every time I listen to it. Pure genius!
