Keith Lemon: Coming in America review

Leigh Francis has stretched his comic creation paper thin over the past 18 years, but there is a weird purity that tickles my fancy.

The second series of Marmite showbiz send-ups continues. The unlikely Big Fat Gypsy Kardashian mash-up lives on, with ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts joining the fold as Caitlyn Jenner. Elsewhere, there are more potentially slanderous sketches featuring "Olly Murs", "Caroline Flack" and "Martin Clunes", and Yvette Fielding parodies her ghost-hunting gig with Probably Not Haunted. Unless you're a fan of Leigh Francis's titular irritant or share his obsession with the likes of Ant & Dec, it's unlikely to appeal.

After a couple of PhotoShopped false starts on social media, today actually is Back To The Future Day: 21 October 2015, the date travelled to by Doc and Marty in Back To The Future Part II. The movie foresaw a world with hoverboards and multi-screen viewing; it didn't predict Keith Lemon, but perhaps it was just being tactful. Gino d'Acampo, Ashley Roberts and [p[Paddy McGuinness] lend their weight to Lemon's special tribute, which sits lump-like in the middle of a screening of the whole film trilogy.
