TV review: Wreck, BBC Three, iPlayer

Comedy has clearly taken a turn for the dark lately. There's the domestic horror of Am I Being Unreasonable? and now here comes sexy slasher Wreck sailing into port. It's more thriller than sitcom but I suspect it is aimed at young comedy fans as well as young horror fans.
