Tommy Saxondale's adventures deserved to be seen again. Ben Miller (so fantastic as Rebenor in Dr. Terrible's House of Horrible) directed the pilot episode on series 1. Tommy, as with Paul Calf, wanted to remain a rebel even though the chaos of regular living got in the way. Ruth Jones as Magz, proprietor of the Smash The System posters shop, was a calming influence and Raymond, Tommy's assistant (Rasmus Hardiker) became almost a surrogate son to them.I hadn't known before that Tim Key was in it as the rep for the bank whose squirrel mascot gets clobbered - I only knew of him from Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. A lot of what I'll call the Baby Cow reparatory company are in it - Simon Greenall portrays an ex-roadie who's become a businessman and he's so different from Michael in I'm Alan Partridge. Morwenna Banks as the receptionist is almost a younger sister of Alison Steadman's Pam in Gavin & Stacey, flirting with and criticizing Tommy. James Bachman as the facilitator of Tommy's anger management classes has the patience of a saint - and who would have thought Matt Berry (also composer of the original incidental music) would have been a fellow client after we'd seen him as the bluff Douglas Reynholm in the IT Crowd?I'm having trouble finding the 'On The Road' bonus on disc one. The slight changes to the incidental music (contractual reasons?) don't jar as much as the absence of Steely Dan's Reelin' In The Years from Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive does. I feel at home with the use of Focus's 'House Of The King' (the old Don't Ask Me theme)on the opening titles and 'Hocus Pocus' on the end titles. Though Tommy is gobsmacked that the late husband of Lisa Tarbuck's character had Genesis's 'Trespass', we get a tinny approximation of 'Invisible Touch' later on in that episode where we would have got the original. And does anyone else cringe when Tommy misidentifies the lyrics from Rush's The Spirit Of Radio as being from their Hemispheres album and not from Permanent Waves (yes, I'm a fellow resident of Pedantry)! Tommy's wig is a lot different on disc one - this sold iron grey fringe, whereas in series two I can see that Coogan's own wavy hair had blonde and grey streaks...and was this hairstyle the inspiration for Don's similar hairstyle in series two of Nighty Night?On series 2, Tommy is having trouble dealing with his next door neighbour (Darren Boyd). The neighbour seems very clingy and Tommy seems to want to get away from him. The lengthy rumination on Genesis's Seconds Out was so true for people of my age! Rosie Caviliero as the new age woman seems to have a hold on Magz here. But she wriggles out of it after being paired with another man (Tommy makes her leave due to being drunk as a skunk with friends), saying she wanted to listen to Rush's Caress Of Steel again! I also liked Mark Williams as another ex-roadie, who refused to grow old gracefully and had to have a leg amputated (shades of John Martyn - co-star on Fonte Bund and Barne Willers' tour doc on the Human Remains DVD). It is such a pity that Williams is currently hosting a daytime quiz show on the Beeb when he's so talented.The final episode of series two makes me sad. Just as Tommy gets back with Magz, we hear Raymond say 'It's cancer' when the surgery rings. I wanted so much to know if he would pull through and that the doctors would find the problems in time. And Keanu, the gay rent boy (also portrayed by Steve Coogan)...is he Tommy's son from his first marriage? We never see the first Mrs. Saxondale and I so wanted the loose ends to be tied up.I also liked the reference to the children's song 'Heads and Shoulders, Knees and Toes' as the anger management class after Tommy had had a gutful of one sob story from another client....he would have been brilliant as a judge on Britain's Got Talent! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautifully well written, and observed comic creation. *by J***R on 25 April 2018* Tommy Saxondale, ex-road crew member, who toured with some of the greats of the 70s rock scene, and can't (doesn't want to) forget it. Now a self employed pest control opperative living a comfortable suburban existence, he still feels the nostalgic pull of the rock'n'roll lifestyle. With his life partner Magz, who makes and sells T-shirts and artwork in her local shop, and his lodger/trainee (slightly bemused) assistant Raymond. Tommy rules his kingdom with the sagacious wisdom of an urban guru. Unfortunately the rest of the world usually fails to see that wisdom, leaving him frustrated, and angry. Though he is getting counseling. A beautifully well written, and observed comic creation, with an incisive dry wit throughout.Each series in it's own case, with an outer cardboard sleeve. Extras include deleted scenes, documentary on the making, and interviews. All in all well worth the entrance fee. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamed In Series Two *by D***P on 22 July 2011* As a big fan of "Alan Partridge" I sat down to watch this two series set with some interest. The inclusion of the pilot episode in series one gives a good opener the series and by the end of episode two the characters and basis for them is well set. This is more of a drama than a comedy, dont expect the partridge to come out here! Some reviews say the second series was tame but i found the too frequent swearing and agressiveness of parts of series one unneccessary, they did not need to be there. Its a shame that there wasn't a third series as i feel there was more room to explore in the character but i dont think alot of people got it, they were expecting another Alan Partridge. This is certainly worthy of adding to your Coogan collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Saxondale - Complete Series 1 & 2 Box Set [DVD] - This Time With Alan Partridge - Series 1 & 2 Boxset [DVD] [2021] - Alan Partridge - Complete BBC Collection [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59795204-saxondale-complete-series-1-and-2-box-set-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/59795204-saxondale-complete-series-1-and-2-box-set-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
