Comedy Reviews

  • Grandma's House: Episode 1

    Simon Amstell's been on quite a journey. After Popworld and Buzzcocks, now he's trying his hand at acting, with strangely paradoxical results.

     
  • Vexed: Episode 1

    Crime Comedy - a genre seldom tapped.

     
  • Pete Versus Life: Episode 1

    In these times of economic crisis, you better be damn sure your comedy product is something more substantial than a one joke premise spread sparsely over 5 episodes.

     
  • My Family: Series 10 Episode 2

    Oh, come on. Admit it. You do watch it. Hell, someone does, it’s being going for ten years, and remains one of the most phenomenally successful programme the BBC has.

     
  • Rev: Series 1 Episode 1

    Vicars have been good fare for TV comedy since... well, ever since the genesis of TV comedy.

     
  • Ugly Betty: Season 3 Episode 1

    Forever playing catch-up with its US counterpart screenings and eschewing the more sensible models of Lost and 24, where episodes air in the UK mere hours after those across the pond, Ugly Betty fans will no doubt have already devoured these episodes, what with the entire season finishing just last month.

    ITV1’s BAFTA-nominated 'Brits abroad' comedy-drama returns for what feels like a superfluous one-off special.

     
  • Mumbai Calling: Episode 2

    From the makers of Birds Of A Feather and Lovejoy, ITV1’s new primetime comedy starring Sanjeev Bhaskar is set in a Mumbai call centre.
