David Walliams

Matt Lucas and David Walliams's zany airport-based mockumentary continues. Bitter husband-and-wife pilot team Simon and Jackie face a bumpy ride when Simon's one-night stand is rostered onto their Barcelona flight. We find out which member of FlyLo's check-in staff has caught the fancy of hapless burger-boy Tommy Reid. And snobby head stewardess Penny gets a visit from a member of the Royal household.

Come Fly With Me Defended... by Jim Davidson

TV viewers have complained that Matt Lucas and David Walliams' new comedy series set in an airport is racist.

Matt Lucas and David Walliams's airport-based comedy series introduced a great new line-up of grotesques but, just three episodes in, some are already beginning to feel a teeny bit repetitive. Thank heavens, then, for the arrival of customs officers Robert and Stewart, delightfully perplexed when they stumble upon a massive consignment of smuggled narcotics, and Penny, the airline company's most snobbish employee, who struggles to cope whenever the lower orders dare to travel first class. Also this week, Flylo ground crew Taaj Manzoor bumps into Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint.

Last Night's TV - David Walliams' Awfully Good, C4

He's got to be having a laugh.

David Walliams' Awfully Good review

A two hour clip show presented by Little Britain's David Walliams, which despite aiming for the "so bad it's good" moments that it was just terrible.

Fresh from bringing his new comedy Come Fly with Me to our screens over Christmas, David Walliams (above) presents this compendium of guilty viewing pleasures: two hours' worth of clips from the television shows, films and adverts that are "so bad, they're good" (the programme-makers' promise, not ours). These include everything from Keanu Reeves being out-acted by a wooden stake in Bram Stoker's Dracula to the embarrassing roaring shark from Jaws 4: The Revenge and excruciating attempts by the BBC to get hip in the 1970s.

You may think that Harry Hill has cornered the market in raising laughs from the absurdities of television with TV Burp, but here David Walliams is taking a much wider remit, looking at not just TV but also cinema and ads. Walliams's conceit is that there are some ideas that are so ill-conceived and misguided, they become fascinating entertainment. His case is made with just the title of the BBC's 1978 contemporary black music show, Blackcurrent. It ran for one episode. And while everyone loves the scouts on the rollercoaster on Jim'll Fix It, who remembers the kid whose heart's desire was to eat a lemon in front of a brass band? Essentially this is a clips show, but Walliams's arch delivery and the sheer oddity of some of what's on display should elevate it above the run-of-the-mill.

David Walliams' Awfully Good, Channel 4, preview

David Walliams returns to our screens, this time in a presenting role, as he runs down the most embarrassing clips from TV, films and adverts.

Yes, another clip show from Channel 4. But thanks to the acerbic presenting of David Walliams and some downright mind-boggling clips, it's not your average cut and paste clips show offering this time.

David looks at "the worst, weirdest and what-the-hell-were-they-thinking" TV moments. TV so awful, it's awfully good. Most clips are from the 70s and 80s and are so cringe-makingly bad they could be modern day spoofs. Phallic balloons on kids' TV, Bruce Forsyth singing Barry White and men in questionably tight trousers disco dancing.

There's a guy who claimed he could jump on an egg without breaking it and Boy George in The A-Team.

Most disturbing, however, is Mr TSW 1982, a male beauty pageant in the South West. Those men with dodgy hair and even dodgier speedos are now fathers and grandfathers.
