Koch Vision and BBC presents "GRAFTERS: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON" (2006) (400 mins/Color) (Dolby Digital) ---The Complete Second Season. This eight-episode series from 1999 puts the two geordie brothers in Brighton, where it's always sunny, but the water's getting too hot --- This British television show follows the exploits of two brothers who move from the North-East of England to London --- The brothers Robson Green and Stephen Tompkinson take a job renovating houses after arriving in the city, but their fractious relationship often threatens to tear them apart --- Grafters: The Complete Second Season is a real treat for fans of British TV who are looking for a fresh, fun, surprisingly emotional comedy, romance and drama --- The cast is outstanding, the writing is sharp and the direction is excellent.

Story line and plot, Grafters has a lot of routine soapy moments, but also has some scenes that really click --- Take note as the scene in which a brawling Nick and Joe tumble out of Nick's office into the street to find Trevor and Clare kissing or the wine-and-cheese flat showing that goes perfectly wrong --- Wouldn't hire these guys to do a project for me --- They always find putting out romantic fires and doing battle with upper-class twits --- Can't see how they actually found the time to get any work done --- The construction trade does play a part in the story, since the brothers Purvis face obstacles like asbestos and bad wiring along with the obstacles created by the sleazy Nick Costello and their own romantic distractions.
