BERT: Another category we can't feel too spiteful about. After all, it's a lot easier to believe a show's hilarious when you haven't seen a second of it than it is after having sat through hours of turgid sap. But let's leave our review of Laid for a later time.
Boytown Confidential is never going to get any kind of release, OK. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Not going to be leaked, not going to magically appear in your mailbox, not going to turn up at 3am on GO! So, with that in mind, we can safely say that it's the most awesomely awesome Australian comedy project ever undertaken. Hey, we can be positive about things too. Angry Boys was first announced in what, mid-2009? And it's looking right on track for a fourth quarter 2011 release. Which, when you think about it, is commendably swift for a Chris Lilley project. He plays all the behind-the-camera roles himself too, doesn't he? We've heard of television broadcasts being interrupted by "technical difficulties", but DVD releases? Still, supposedly "mastering problems" held up the DVD release of Full Frontal series 4, and with no 4 coming down the pipeline 5 was held back as well. But don't worry: supposedly Totally Full Frontal did get a release...not that we've met anyone who'll admit to buying it. Or any store that'll admit to stocking it.
