Boyd Hilton

Meet the cast podcast

Russell Tovey, Sarah Solemani, Kerry Howard and Ricky Champ discuss the final series of Him & Her with Boyd Hilton at the Apple Store in London.

Fans of comedy duo Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong should lap up this spiffingly funny one-off comedy. It's written by Simon Nye (Men Behaving Badly) and is set in London in 1908, the year the Olympics first came to the city.

Murdo (Armstrong) and Felix (Miller) are posh, fun-loving friends who happily indulge in a drink-and-drugs fest while one of them attempts to complete in the Games, and the other plans a sudden marriage to a lady called Fanny (obv), and all the while they utter a non-stop stream of innuendo.

The rave-dancing sequence is hilarious, Armstrong and Miller are a joy, and they're well supported by Georgie King, Katy Wix and Lizzie Roper. Let's have a full series, please.

An insider review of his last big BBC show

Boyd Hilton was in the audience for the last, emotional Friday Night with Jonathan Ross - and explains how surprises from Roxy Music and David Beckham unfolded.

In its scary, sinister, creepy but very funny way, League of Gentlemen Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's beautifully made and brilliantly performed comedy thriller has been one of the TV treats of the summer. This coming Thursday it reaches its climax with some suitably awful goings-on as all the characters find out why they've been summoned and who summoned them.

The characters' connections start coming together in the penultimate episode of the scary, sick but very funny comedy from half of The League of Gentlemen. Mr Lomax has a new home help after he was betrayed by young Michael. Mr Jelly is 'entertaining' old folks at a home when he gets a call from Mr Jolly, and Maureen learns the truth about David.

The comedy thriller series takes an amazing left turn this week with an episode taking place in real time, in one location with just three characters - and all shot seemingly in one take. Its brilliant and not just because of the immortal phase "Shall we sit soft?"

If you're freaked out by the idea of a mother scratching the flaky skin off her eczema-riddled son's back while he bones up on his serial killer trivia before she suggestively rearranges his crotch area and says "Go and get a dustpan and brush, I've got half your back between my legs", then his new seven-part comedy thriller from half of The League of Gentlemen may not be for you. If you can take it, though, and deal with a brilliantly creepy Dawn French as a midwife who treats her plastic demo baby as if its real, and a twisted one-handed clown who never takes off his make-up - oh, and let's not forget the dwarf porn - then please don't miss Psychoville. The central mystery kicks off when this group of disparate strangers, who seem to have nothing in common apart from the fact they're freaky, suddenly receive letters saying "I know what you did". Its sick, twisted and perverse, but beautifully made and very funny.
