Description
Release Date: 02 May 2011
Since its 1990’s broadcast, Carl Gorham’s multi award-winning animated sitcom has achieved cult status. Now released for the first time on DVD and including all thirteen episodes as well as a host of exclusive extras, this really is The Complete Stressed Eric Collection.
Eric Feeble is 40, a divorced father with two kids and a crippling mortgage. His son is thick, his daughter is allergic to everything and his au-pair is an unreliable waster. The successful and wealthy Perfect family, who live next door, provide a constant and irritating reminder of what his life could have been. At work, a series of stress related illnesses have seen him demoted from Sales through half a dozen offices to the dark, dank wastelands of the Data Department, next to the Gentlemen’s lavatory. Through it all Eric battles on, a man whose very survival each week against impossible odds makes him an ulcer-growing hero for our times.
Featuring the voices of Alexander Armstrong, Rebecca Front, Mark Heap, Alison Steadman, Morwenna Banks, Gordon Kennedy and Doon Mackichan.

Agh, my blood pressure!
Perhaps a child of its time - the 1990s - this cartoon series is brave enough to feature a man as a household victim, a thoroughly nice guy who puts his single-parent responsibilities above all else. But the world is set against him and everything he tries is doomed to disaster. This is social comment disguised as over-the-top cartoon, and while it's often very funny it can also make for uncomfortable viewing - some of these characters and situations are very recognisable parodies of real life. You can't help feeling for the little old lady, setting off gamely time after time to try and get her little envelope posted.
