Jennifer Saunders on coping with modern life and why family comes first

For years, Jennifer Saunders' silliness, zaniness and gleeful vulgarity has made her one of our most brilliant comedians. But now she finds herself doing 'active acting'. She talks about postboxes, puzzling and why she couldn't be happier.

Allelujah review

Overall, Allelujah is an intriguing production. It has a lot of things it wants to say, but its commitment to a shock-value plot twist blunts its ability to say those things and causes it to largely squander its runtime, making for an experience that feels inconsistent and compromised, despite its best efforts
