Crazyhead episode 2 review

As it stands, Episode 2 offers all the laughs and action the show served up last week, whilst also sprinkling on an intriguing glimpse at the mythology of the show for good measure.

Crazyhead episode 1 review

Does E4 comedy horror Crazyhead, from the creator of Misfits, deserve the title of the British Buffy?

New British horror with plenty of absurd laughs from the creator of the similarly warped Misfits. Amy (Cara Theobold, a million miles away from Downton Abbey) discovers her best friend is possessed, and teams up with deliciously quick-witted Raquel (Chewing Gum's Susie Wokoma) to exorcise the demon. "I'm not a hell bitch. I work in a bowling alley," argues Amy, shortly before being chased by an evil gang. Expect darkness, clown masks and lots of one-liners.

Cara Theobold: From Downton to killing demons

For most young actors, a role in a TV series as successful as Downton Abbey would be a dream come true. But for Cara Theobold, who was offered the part of kitchen maid Ivy while she was still at drama school, her years on Downton pale in comparison to her latest venture.

I talk to: Susan Wokoma and Cara Theobold

As E4 prepare to launch Crazyhead, a brand new comedy horror from Howard Overman, (Misfits), I speak to two of its stars, Susan Wokoma and Cara Theobold.

In the year in which we learnt that BBC Three was to move online, the channel proved that it still could deliver the goods when it came to sitcoms. Johnny Sweet's romantic comedy was surprisingly charming as we followed his character Tom's attempts to have a successful romance with Cara Theobold's Ellen. What made Together so unique was the fact that you barely saw the central couple on screen together yet you still believed in their romance. Additionally Sweet was able to assemble a fine supporting cast most notably Alex McQueen and Vicki Pepperdine who almost stole the show as Tom's parents. Funny and charming in equal measure, we're just hoping that Together still finds life on BBC Three's online platform as it more than deserves to.
