Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget review

The sequel to the 2000 hit verges on formulaic, feeling a little like it's been produced by AI. But it's largely redeemed by decent jokes and a lively, likable cast.

Review: Trying, Apple TV+

Apple TV+'s first British original comedy is an interesting one. It both plays it very safe, with its cosy thirtysomething Camden Town environment and also goes into some unusual territory as it deals with a young couple going through the difficult process of adopting.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st May 2020

Rafe Spall and Esther Smith are brilliant as the couple considering adoption - and rising above the absurdities of their painful plight.

Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie interview

Finding Your Feet is far from your average depiction of the "golden age". A moving comedy about a diverse group of energetic baby boomers, it starts with Sandra, played by Imelda Staunton, discovering that her husband of 40 years is having an affair with her best friend.
