Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th September 2017The series that sees comedians undertaking wildly silly tasks on a competitive basis returns. This time around, the contestants are Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips, and highlights include Phillips revealing a hitherto unexpected link between shoving cake in your armpits and cuddling.

For a comedy show, The Last Leg does get its fair share of high profile political guests.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 7th April 2017Was this year's Red Nose Day Show a disaster?
What was interesting here was the disconnect between Edinburgh Fringe favourites and a mainstream BBC audience. What the former crowd adores the latter abhores.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th March 2017TV review: Gap Year, E4, Episode 2
Plenty of fast-paced action, some snappy dialogue and breath-taking aerial shots of tea plantations that make you go wow. Nice wok everyone.
