   Welcome to Popetown, where money, power and corruption are just
   another part of the daily routine for the Cardinals, Nuns, and Bishops.
   Father Nicholas is our guide through the corridors of power, where
   everyone's playing the game, it seems, even the gun-toting, pogo-sticking,
   hide-and-seek playing Pope!

   The series is directed by Phil Ox (MJTV), and features the writing talents of
   Mackenzie Crook and David Quantick. The all-star voice artists include Matt Lucas,
   Bob Mortimer, Ruby Wax, Kevin Eldon, Simon Greenall, Morwenna Banks
   and model Jerry Hall.

   "Popetown" was comissioned and produced by BBC Three, and set to air back
   in 2004, but mass media speculation and religious lobbying in advance of the
   broadcast gave the corporation cold feet, so they pulled it from their schedules.
   The series has been languishing in cartoon limbo ever since.

   But now Revolver have stepped in. Their UK DVD release includes 10 x 24min
   episodes of the show, plus interviews with several members of the all-star cast,
   so now we can all see exactly what all that fuss was about...

 

  
    "Too controversial for television, "Popetown" finally arrives on DVD for our viewing
     pleasure... or not, depending on your taste... But the important thing is, we're
     finally getting the chance to judge for ourselves... And as it happens, "Popetown"
     is rather funny. Think of it as a naughty choirboy. Indeed, the show has only
     picked up a "12" certificate here in the UK, which suggests that much of the
     controversy has  simply been a storm in a Catholic wine cup. Look beneath
     that Papal veil and you'll find a show which has a genuine respect for
     the religion its lampooning. Well, that's The Hound's opinion, at least.
     You may view it differently. The point is, now you can!"
