'The worst film ever made': how Sex Lives Of The Potato Men broke British cinema
When the puerile comedy bombed, the film-makers blamed the critics and the Tories blamed the UK Film Council. Twenty years on, we reassess the legacy of a cinematic pariah whose champions include Stewart Lee and Mike Leigh.

British Comedy Guide, 19th November 2022The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk, series 2 review
The second series is as absurd as the first: a tightly-packed stream of zany inventiveness, attaching distinctive visual gags, off-the-wall singalongs and non-sequitur asides to a flimsy plot.

British Comedy Guide, 27th April 2021I believe it's now against the law to review a comedy featuring a modern woman without mentioning Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag. In the BBC Three pilot Behind the Filter, star (and co-writer with Guardian journalist Harriet Gibsone), Phoebe Walsh deals with the "F-issue" instantly, with her character, Ruby, muttering: "Phoebe Waller-Bridge" in her sleep. Later, Ruby masturbates. Twice! Though not about Waller-Bridge, which would really have been something. Ruby is a directionless, mid-20s, Instagramming, woke-curious hipster casualty in festival-ready tangerine sunglasses, who lives with her parents (Pippa Haywood and Dominic Coleman) and lodger Abdul (Omar Malik). There were some promising moments in this 15-minute taster: not least Ruby's inevitable and pointless podcast Feminism in your Ears. More please.
