Product Description
From Amazon.com
Only Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders could possibly bring a humorous light to Ingmar Bergman: "Oh, God, is it going to be another Bergman day?" asks French in the bleak black-and-white takeoff, complete with Death coming to call. Even if you've never seen a Bergman film, you'll know enough to find this skit hilarious. In Living in a Material World, French and Saunders make fun of Madonna (Madonna Jennifer is dared to pretend she's blow-drying her hair), Fellini, Baywatch, Dr. Quinn (remade as Dr. Quimn, Mad Woman), Björk (French does a rhinestone-studded impersonation), young brides planning weddings, art galleries, and so much more. The dynamic duo behind Absolutely Fabulous star in this sketch-format series that succeeds like no other. --Jenny Brown
Video Details

FUNNY AS HECK!!!
Nov 15 2003
Format:DVD
I agree that out of the four DVDs of French and Saunders for sale in North America, this is one of the better ones (almost as good as At The Movies). If you like French and Saunders this is a must have.
A French & Saunders MUST HAVE
Oct 7 2003
Format:DVD
All of the 4 available French & Saunders DVDs released in the U.S. so far are good, entertaining examples of fine British parodies, but "Living in a Material World" is beyond fabulous. It includes as a BONUS FEATURE the Easter Special that ran on Comedy Central as "The French & the Saunders" . . . which puts a hysterical spin on Peter Jackson's "LOTR" movies that even Ian McKellen reportedly suggested Jackson include on the bumper disc for the trilogy. Especially at amazon.com's low price, you can't afford not to own this DVD if you love F&S or LOTR!
Genius parody
Jan 19 2002
Format:VHS Tape
This may be French's and Saunders's finest work of all. Those familiar with them largely through ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS or their broader humor from the earlier French and Saunders series will be surprised at how subtle they are capable of being here. Jennifer Saunders' awesomely controlled imitation of Jane Seymour (in perhaps their most hilarious of all parodies, DR. QUIMN, MAD WOMAN) is a case in point. Who even dreamed that Jane Seymour *could* be parodied at all? (Saunders does it by looking incredibly sincerely at whomever she's speaking to and murmuring vaguely audible comforting things; when at one point she speaks, in a moment of crisis, at a normal human level, she has to turn back to murmur, "I'm sorry I raised my voice at you just now...") Dawn French makes a memorable Pamela Anderson in their BAYWATCH parody (she not only gets the hair and lipstick down perfectly but also the spaced-out look of concern), and then the production staff serves them brilliantly with a Fellini parody that is so exact--even down to the film stock used---that it must be seen to be believed.
