There's still life and laughs in this daft family comedy.

Cold Feet, series 2 episode 1, review

It's always incredibly risky to revive a much-loved show. Few manage to recreate the magic, let alone match the success. Porridge, Red Dwarf and Still Open All Hours have all been dusted off and brought back to our screens, and are still chugging away, but with a fraction of the viewers and former acclaim. Cold Feet (ITV) is the exception.

Catastrophe, series 3, episode 2 review

This show is at its best when it is skewering real-life situations with cynical, on-the-money lines. The subtle, blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments are the most effective. Car crash speeches are a comedy staple, and, sure, all very funny, but Catastrophe doesn't need to lower itself to such sitcom tropes. It's just doesn't need them.

Catherine Tate's live show - review

There's no doubt that Tate is a talented, expressive performer with an observant eye. Her use of the familiar is the reason her characters resonate with so many people (as any sullen teenage girl who's had her parents turn and laugh at her while watching Lauren Cooper will attest). But her overuse of line repetition from the TV show's regular sketches can leave the jokes themselves lacking at times.

Brian Pern: 45 Years of Rock and Roll, BBC Four, review

The prog rock legend was back and no one was safe from a good ribbing in this rock mockumentary, says Catherine Gee.

Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 15th January 2016

The Thick of It alumni Chris Addison and Simon Blackwell make the tricky genre of heart-warming comedy-drama look easy in this touching and funny series about a couple (Addison and Jo Joyner) giving their relationship a second chance.
