Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 22nd December 2015A seasonal episode of the show that - like the Twitter account it grew from - does pretty basic observational comedy, but does it pretty well. On TV, it helps that the status of the contributors is bewilderingly high: sitting in various lovely interiors tonight are David Tennant, James Corden, Rich Hall, Romesh Ranganathan, Catherine Tate and Danny Dyer. Among the agonies wryly shared are how much to pay carol singers and when to abandon a bad party.

British Comedy Guide, 18th May 2015By now, it might be that you've simply had enough of politics. It would be understandable given the length of the election campaign. But if you can find room for one more political wafer-thin mint, this James Graham play starring Catherine Tate, Mark Gatiss and Nina Sosanya almost certainly deserves a look. First broadcast live from the Donmar Warehouse on election night and covering - both temporally and thematically - the last hour-and-a-half before polls closes, it's a neat idea but one that may end up getting slightly lost in the hubbub of the day. If you were too busy exercising your democratic right to sit down and watch a play about other people doing the same, here's another chance.
