Nighty Night - Series 1 & 2 plus extras (DVD Rip)
Nighty Night is a BBC black comedy television series written by and starring Julia Davis.
Notorious for its dark humour, the show follows narcissistic sociopath Jill Tyrell (Julia Davis), alongside her moronic, asthmatic assistant Linda (Ruth Jones), as she learns that her husband Terry (Kevin Eldon) has cancer. She uses this fact to manipulate new neighbour Cathy Cole (Rebecca Front), a wheelchair user with multiple sclerosis. Her husband is Don Cole (Angus Deayton), a womanising doctor and the man with whom Jill becomes increasingly obsessed.
The first series won a Banff Award and Davis won a Royal Television Society Award for her performance. The show has received universal acclaim from critics and audiences and has developed something of a cult following.
The Guardian called it "an exquisitely vile comic creation" and adding that "The Office might have popularised the comedy of embarrassment, but Nighty Night has moved it on." The Times called it "a blistering wall of superbly unredeemed cruelty that manages to trample over every social convention in a pair of cheap stilettos."
Includes: All episodes from Series 1 & 2, outtakes, deleted scenes, plus the alternative first episode of Series 2.
