This satirical comedy about the PR industry is good fun, but unfortunately rarely soars to the heights that feel like they should be just within its reach. The show consistently delivers, however, in any scene following Stephen Fry as the suave moral vacuum at the centre of the series, and almost all of the highlights where you see the show actually reach its full potential are focused on him. (This isn't a jab at the other actors, who are quite good, but rather the writing which gives him all the best stuff to do and say.) The series one episode where they briefly consider trying to find a positive spin on Nazis, for instance, was worth the cost of the box set all on its own. Cynical without being depressing, this is probably the series you'd want if you liked "The Thick of It", but just wished it could be more sitcom-esque, generally less bleak and a lot less stressful.

Set in the Machiavellian world of modern PR, Absolute Power introduces us to London-based 'government-media relations consultancy' Prentiss McCabe, whose partners Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe are frequently embroiled in the machinations of the British political system. Prentiss is ruthless, unscrupulous and will go to almost any lengths to pull off a big commission, while McCabe does have a moral compass, but is too laid-back and fond of claret to use it very often.In episodes that could have been written yesterday, the duo's targets for makeover include the Conservative Party, The Sun, the Mayor of London, the Church of England, Radio 3, English sporting success, the elderly, prisons, the Prime Minister, the Health Service, a Big Brother star, a tennis pro, men, the BBC, 'the notion of Nation', healthy eating and the US Presidential Campaign.This complete collection includes all 21 episodes of the four series, first broadcast between 2000 and 2004, plus the special 2006 episode. Stephen Fry and John Bird star as Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe, with Tamsin Greig as rival spin doctor Gayle Shand.Episode guideSeries 11. Conservative Party2. Relaunch of The Sun3.
