Simon Hattenstone, The Guardian, 19th April 2013Opinion: Stand-ups can also stand out in documentaries
Television seems to be going through one of its phases where it gives comedians interesting jobs rather than just going "ooh look, how about a nice panel game/quiz show to be charismatically spontaneous on?" Last week Victoria Wood was poured all over our screens talking about tea. For the next two Sundays Bill Bailey is going to be in the jungle.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 16th April 2013Bill Bailey in a pink jumpsuit can't be all bad
The comedy sketch show has scuppered many a talented performer and, in its more tumbleweed moments, it appeared as though It's Kevin (BBC2) was destined to join the ignoble list of failed efforts.

Threesome, everyone's favourite Ménage à trois-based comedy is back, with a whole sack of one-liners, a bed-full (three, appropriately) of top class guest stars in the shape of Bill Bailey, Robert Webb and Joe Thomas, and a first episode that delivers laughs, even if it did leave the plot and characterisation at the sorting office.
