Paddington 2: interviews with cast and crew

We were pleased to interview the soft-spoken director Paul King, his visual effects supervisor Glen Pratt, and the inimitable Hugh Bonneville with child actors Madeleine Harris and Sam Joslin.

Paddington, the hero of Michael Bond's books, may be an undersized Peruvian bear but he packs a warm hug in this family-friendly treat. Taken in by the Brown family (parents played by Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins), Paddington (sweetly voiced by Ben Whishaw) indulges in plenty of extreme marmalade-fun, and a moderately scary run-in with menacing taxidermist Millicent (Nicole Kidman).

W1A, episode 3 review

Three series in, this one-time funny sitcom is just irritating.

W1A review - the Way Ahead is behind and it's brilliant

The returning mockumentary send-up of the BBC is very funny at times, if a bit smug. Perhaps it should sharpen its daggers and look at Auntie's pay gap...

W1A: Why this final series might be the best yet.

I'm just a little upset that this is the final series as, from what I've seen, W1A is arguably the BBC funniest comedy that's currently on screen and I'm just wondering if the reason its leaving the screens is because of Morton's ability to spoof the company that's actually in charge of recommissioning his brilliant sitcom.

Preview - W1A

Reports claim that the new series of W1A may be the last one, so this might be the last time we get to enjoy Hugh Bonneville as Ian Fletcher.

W1A series three preview

There are moments in W1A that are almost too agonising to watch. The circuitous meetings of the BBC's directionless yet ironically named Way Ahead group so accurately replicate the prevarications of real corporate life that you can feel the knuckle-gnawing frustration from your own sofa.

Like the BBC W1A series 3 is easier to admire than love

"How about a BBC News forecast app? Like the weather forecast but with emojis. Each day, it'll be, like, Italy: smiley face. Syria: droopy mouth. Russia: angry face." Unfold your Brompton bike because W1A (BBC Two) was back for a third series of self-reflexive BBC satire and management gobbledegook.
