Chris Tarrant

It's hardly a new idea, we've seen this sort of clips show before, most notably presented by Clive James and Chris Tarrant in the 1980s. Here the format is resurrected, fronted by comedian Jimmy Carr. He does a reasonable job, too, although the audience seem overly (and suspiciously) buoyed up for the laughs on offer.

From Spaced to Black Books to the very deeply brilliant Look Around You, P.S. (it's just easier on the RSI, frankly) invariably makes me laugh, as did his new sketch show, commissioned on the back of an amusing spoof showbiz news clip circulated on the interwebnet, and which was in every conceivable way the perfect giggly antidote to three hours of Murphy's Law.

P.S. is a brilliant impressionist, too - his uncanny Chris Tarrant, host of the absurd quiz show 'Heads or Tails', was only undermined by the premise not being nearly as absurd as it appears. Serafinowicz may not be aware of the deliciously unsophisticated Australian gambling game 2-Up, which makes craps look like poker, but I suspect he may want to investigate.
