Preview: It's Not What You Know, Radio 4

Lycett says: "We had the most terrific fun recording the new series of It's Not What You Know and I personally can't wait for audiences to hear about Adrian Chiles' worrying eating habits, discover Nish Kumar's homicidal mother, and enjoy me having an argument with Vanessa Feltz."

Motherland, BBC Two, review

Promising pilot of comedy about middle-class parenting.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 7th September 2016

Essentially Mumsnet: the sitcom, an utterly hysterical and bracingly honest look at the messy business of motherhood. Diane ("Cunk") Morgan, Lucy Punch and Anna Maxwell Martin are by turns chaotic, uber-competitive and Not Coping Very Well ("I really want the children to be brought up like I was - by my mother") in this delicious one-off from the combined writing talents of Graham and Helen Linehan, Sharon Horgan and Holly Walsh. Fingers crossed for a series.

Motherland preview

Frenetic, stressy and trying to juggle several balls at once... the whole tone of Motherland has a lot of parallels with the chaotic realities of parenthood, which it represents so well.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th September 2016

TV preview: Motherland, BBC2

How kind of the BBC to save the sitcom pilot with the most potential until last.

The art of the comedy fringe poster

Last year, Holly Walsh posed with an upside-down cigarette, this year Nish Kumar is going retro ... what makes for a good comedy poster? And does a comic's offering actually draw audiences to their Edinburgh show?
