While there was an inevitability about Tufnell lending his name to an outtakes DVD, Monty doing so it a bit more surprising, not least because unlike his predecessor he always comes across as a rather reserved individual.
But armed with agents who appear hell-bent on milking every last penny out the Monty brand, this year's Christmas offering is Monty's Cricket Madness.What you get is pretty much what you might expect.
Slickly edited clips make up the bulk of the content, and the links between from Monty show that he's unlikely to be pushing for panto work should he miss out on a tour in the years to come, however hard his agents might try.
It's not dreadful nor is it going to be a million seller. If you get it for Christmas then it's worth a viewing, but as for buying it, perhaps wait for the January sales.
