Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th May 2019From The Windsors writers Bert Tyler-Moore and George Jeffrie comes a rollicking comedy pilot that sees Harry Enfield revel in the role of Richard Branson, lording over all in his Caribbean retreat, Necker Island. The conceit here is that, in addition to his commercial talents, Branson has a gift for solving the problems of our most treasured, but also most screwed-up, celebrities.
