British Comedy Guide, 29th June 2015Stewart Lee blogs about Britain's Got Talent

Ryan Smith, Daily Mail, 26th May 2015Britain's Got Talent does not understand comedy
Watching Britain's Got Talent last night, I did wonder if it was just me and David Walliams who understood that Lorraine Bowen was actually a comedy act, and a very clever one to boot.
D. Cohen, Unreality TV, 17th May 2015Like Rowan Atkinson's annoying creation, Matt Lucas's down-at-heel aristocrat is a man of no words other than yelps and grunts. Maybe that's why he's called Pompidou because, apparently, the French simply adored the Atkinson twaddle and might go for this, too - but then, have you ever seen French TV comedy?
The pratfalls and shameless mugging here are painful to behold and Lucas chews the scenery throughout, perhaps thinking all the while about how his former partner, David Walliams, is making zillions from writing children's books. But then I always thought this duo overrated, just as I never got Reeves and Mortimer or most other recent British comedy pairings.
