Staged review
At times though, Staged can feel like a lockdown sitcom merged with reality TV show taking place in the homes of the celebs rather than a serious look at the difficulties faced by the theatre as viewed through the medium of a postponed Pirandello. At others, viewers get a glimpse of the issues that concern thespian types. For example, in episode three, Evans finds himself compromised by innate weakness after effectively offering the same role to two distinguished actors, allowing a very funny cameo appearance from the USA by Samuel L Jackson, while subsequently a similar, unresolved plotline involves Adrian Lester.

I don't know what was more alarming. David Tennant using the c-word or David Tennant wearing an Alice-band.
