The Change review

Bridget Christie's super-cool menopause comedy is like nothing else on TV.

George The Poet meets Munya Chawawa

The podcaster talks to the online satirist about the joys of rhyming, the limits of macho culture and mocking Matt Hancock.

London Hughes interview

'There are no black female household names in the UK, bar Naomi Campbell'.

It is an intrinsically American format, the late-night talkshow, but Twitter comedian-turned-host Mo Gilligan has had a good go at bringing it home. The sketches are hit and miss, but the guests have been a solid selection of established names (Steve Coogan, Mel B, Danny Dyer) and relative upstarts (Maya Jama, Tom Davis), while Gilligan's easy confidence always carries the night. This is the last in the series; fingers crossed for a recommission.

The threat of hidden-camera pranks is one black mark against this comedy pilot, while sketches exploring "issues" such as the gender pay gap and public transport manspreading sound worryingly worthy. Still, the talent of these young comics may just win out. The fearless foursome includes stand-up Sophie Duker, ex-teacher Jen Wakefield, Cam Spence, who made the award-winning short film Polly, and Grace "daughter of Alastair" Campbell. Could it be Smack The Pony 2018? As long as funny doesn't lose out to topical.

The Javone Prince Show, TV review

A racially astute comedy show from a young talent who deserves to be a star.

Northampton suffers from an unflattering TV depiction

Channel 4's new drama Not Safe For Work is about to undo Northampton's tourism office's hard work.

Now on a second series, John Morton's comedy is less a satire of the BBC in particular and more a satire of big organisations in general. Endless meetings, managers with no discernible purpose and interns who outstay their welcome are all present and correct, but this week's hour-long special also benefits from the comic talents of PhoneShop's Andrew Brooke.

Last week's episode was typically clever, but this week's is unmissably good. Sheridan Smith stars as Christine, an ordinary woman living out her (apparently) ordinary life in flat number 9. Births, deaths and marriages keep us too engaged to wonder where it's all going, until, finally it's too late. You'll be mournfully humming Con te partiro for 12 days to come.

Catastrophe review: An enjoyably rude romcom

Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan's script still somehow manages to find the romance in their situation. Which is why none of it really qualifies as a "catastrophe". They're both nice people, they both want a baby, now they've got a baby. So, really, what's all the whinging about?
