What's On TV, 24th December 2014DVD review: Lee Mack, Hit The Road Mack
Self styled banter merchant Lee Mack isn't for everyone. His fast paced performances can feel a bit old fashioned at times; to the extent that you half expect him to be rounded up and carted back to the 1970s variety show he must have escaped from - or possibly the branch of Pontins where he used to work as a bluecoat. Nevertheless, this DVD shows him at his best and fans of Mack won't be disappointed.
