Gogs The Complete Collection Dvd (2001) Very Rare & Deleted Title
* Description *
Gogs! is a claymation - style animated Television Series which takes the form of a sitcom, originally aired on Welsh television in 1993, and aired to the rest of the United Kingdom on the BBC in 1966. Gogs has since been aired internationally, and still enjoys re-runs on occasion.
Gogs revolves around a family clan of dumb, primitive and socially inept cavemen in a fantasy prehistoric setting, and contained various toilet humour based gags and gross out situations. It also featured their often comedic daily struggle for survival, and attempts to advance their technology and society, and often failing miserably.
The show was more oriented towards an adult audience than other claymation television series such as The Trap Door or Wallace & Gromit, which were more child-friendly than Gogs. Although often called a Childre's Television Program, Gogs tended to be shown after the watershed, and so was often referred to as "claymation for the post-pub generation". Later VHS and DVD releases carried a parental guidance rating.
The original series contained only five episodes each of around five to six minutes long. After winning numerous awards a second series was commissioned with episodes running at a similar length, bringing the total number of episodes of the two series to thirteen in number. In 1998 the last installment of Gogs, a 30-minute-long special, Gogwana was aired, which was also critically well received and won numerous awards.
*** PLOT ***
The series depicts the Gogs comically as being mind-bogglingly stupid and struggling to navigate and avoid the perils of an exotic, prehistoric land inhabited by dinnasours pre historic mammals , giant insects, man-eating plants, and other exotica. Even the primeval landscape is a danger, likely to erupt in a volcano or collapse in an earthquake, and the world is wracked by powerful lightning and thunder storms. One of the show's key comedic aspects are crudeness and toilet humour; the characters do not talk, instead communicating with grunts, roars, screams, burps and farts, and overly exaggerated facial expressions. The rest of the show had an emphasis on slapstick, cartoonish violence as the Gogs spend the rest of their time wrestling, urinating, vomiting, bashing each other on the head with clubs, and scoffing food. The show was criticized by some for being too over the top
*** Dvd Release Details ***
Gogs was released as a Region 2 Dvd on 9 April 2001 also by Warner Vision International. The DVD contains all thirteen episodes of both series, including the 30-minute special "Gogwana", all on a single disc, with a total run-time of 89 minutes. Special features include a rare photo gallery.
