    The Power of Two is a great little addition into the world of Max and Paddy. The programme is set up as a narrative, with Max and Paddy looking to earn some easy money. They go back to the same guy whose porn film Paddy starred in in the first series, and he sets them up with exercising tools (aka dildo's), a venue to shoot the video (aka a dodgy porn studio with backdrop), and back up exercisers (aka a few 'ordinary people' and a couple of porn stars). From here on in the video can be treated as a genuine exercise video or you can simply watch and enjoy the farce which unfolds before your eyes. As an exercise video, it works really well - I became exhausted after a few minutes. But be warned, some of the stuff that happens or is said can put you off! From an entertainment point of view, it is often laugh out loud funny. There are a few moments which were obviously planned and some of the (clearly improvised) lines are genius, but unfortunately there are not enough of them to merit repeated viewings. However, this must be the only exercise video that has intentional laughs; if you want to enjoy the time you spend sweating off the pounds, this will make all your efforts seem worthwhile.
