Shearsmith reveals a depth in the dark side

Krod Mandoon is the least funny show ever

Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire is a bit like the circus clown. It's a painfully enormous, overwrought and too desperate exercise in nerd-fan-wankery, of the kind that usually happens in bad sprite comics.

Peep Show's Seventh Heaven

Last week the cult comedy hit Peep Show was commissioned for a seventh series, yet three years ago there were rumours circulating that the show would not get a fourth. A reversal of fortune or vindication of Channel 4's then dismissal of reports of the shows' death as greatly exaggerated, if not fabricated?

Is this the foulest "comedy" ever?

TV watchdog Ofcom is preparing for a wave of complaints this week over the shocking language used in a Channel 4 sitcom.

The c-word featured three times in the new comedy, Free Agents, first aired last Friday.

Actor Anthony Head plays the head of a talent agency in the six-part series, written by Chris Niel and described as a caustic romantic comedy.

Head, who became famous in the cult show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, said: "Free Agents is a very adult show but it is very ­funny, and I get to say words I've never said on ­television before. It's very ­liberating."

In the first few minutes, Head's character Stephen Cauldwell said: "Good morning, my dear c***s." The f-word also featured 22 times in the half-hour episode.
