Feel Good Series 2 review
BAFTA-nominated 'sadcom' tackles millennial angst with verve.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 4th June 2021Cuckoo, series 4 ep 1, review
There's still life and laughs in this daft family comedy.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 6th August 2018Cold 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.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 8th September 2017The secrets behind TV's weirdest hit
There's nothing on TV quite like Murder In Successville at the moment.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 19th April 2017Review: Catastrophe series 3 finale was heartbreaking
Knowing that it is one of the last time we'll see Fisher in a fresh role made it automatically bittersweet.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 4th April 2017Catastrophe, 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 Gee, The Telegraph, 7th March 2017Chewing Gum deserves our attention - review
If life were a sitcom, the scenario would happen in a corner shop just after you've accidentally scrawled pen on your forehead, as happens in the opening episode of series two of the cult hit Chewing Gum (E4).
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 13th January 2017Catherine 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.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 1st November 2016Brian 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 2016The 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.
