Ever wondered what would happen if the cream of British comedy got together to star in their own show, writing and performing their own comedy sketches alongside a pool of the best writing talent available? The answer is 'Monkey Trousers'.
Sanctuary Visual Entertainment is delighted to announce the 4th July 2005 DVD release of the first series of the hilarious 'Monkey Trousers' available to buy at £19.99 RRP.
This highly anticipated comedy extravaganza debuted on ITV1 in May and the DVD will include all six episodes, plus a plethora of bonus goodies.
'Monkey Trousers' is the first co-production by Pett Productions (Vic Reeves/Bob Mortimer) and Baby Cow (Steve Coogan/Henry Normal) and represents a new creative direction for both companies - a fast moving, lively and smart, ideas-packed sketch show.
Whether you're a fan of the Geordie Astronauts, 'Roy' the world's most evil toy-shop-owner, Ablett Associates or "Alistair" the clueless estate agent, each episode of 'Monkey Trousers' is packed with laughs, surprise appearances and winning pairings of current comedians and old-school comic greats.
