Feel Good begins with comedienne Mae (Mae Martin) going into the Frog and Bucket club in Manchester, just before her slot, and it’s a very high stage to walk onto. I know that from when I once died a quick death on there during a Beat The Frog ‘gong show’ night. Kudos to the audience […]

Kate and Koji brings us back to the days of the sitcom being recorded in front of an audience which sadly, for ITV, is still the present day. Yes, it’s Ethnic Mismatch Comedy #644, and since The Simpsons has predicted everything from making Donald Trump President, to the Coronavirus (Osaka Flu), I reckon they’ll also […]
Penanceis a new three-part drama over three nights which takes place at Christmas, making me wonder if the scheduling for this has rather been delayed. Anyhoo, what better time of year to have a tragedy, especially a young lad, as two cops turn up at the house of Rosalie Douglas (Julie Graham – Doctor Who: […]

Hitmen is the first scripted sitcom for evergreen pairing Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, aka Mel and Sue, although not for Sue. I remember them first on Channel 4’s daytime show Light Lunch – and then the spinoff Late Lunch, which both showed perfectly how good they are at improvising. Sue’s first sitcom was her […]

From the very premise, it sounds like a drama version of Goodness Gracious Me – a series where we got the point within five minutes, […]
The Trouble with Maggie Cole is a new drama starring Dawn French in the title role, set in the sleepy coastal town of Thurlbury, which starts off looking like Sunday evening nonsense somehow reserved for Wednesday primetime, then adds some intrigue, and then falls somewhere inbetween by the end of the first episode. On one […]
