British Comedy Guide, 17th June 2021Derren Litten: All's Well That Starts Well
After our first week of slog I decided to hold a little BBQ at my rented villa, it was an Xmas Special party as some of the main cast aren't in the Special so they haven't arrived in Spain yet. We had the likes of Brian Murphy, Louie Spence and Tim Healy cavorting around the pool.
Derren Litten, 1st September 2010Surprised myself by enjoying this Thames comedy in which Roy Kinnear in an ill-fitting head attempted to interest Brian Murphy in an off-the-peg moustache in the economic possibilities of Kentucky fried pigeon and newt in a basket. The deep and wide shiftiness of Kinnear's face reminds me of the Great Grimpen Mire.
