Jeremy Clarkson: Comedy is all very clever nowadays, but falling over is still funnier

We learnt last week that nearly half the people in this country cannot remember the last time they laughed out loud. And, of course, we were told this was because there's nothing to smile about in a country that's been brutalised by 13 years of vicious Tory cuts and fat-cat, anti-BLT+ climate change. Naturally, I pooh-poohed the notion.

Radio Times review

Radio Times Top 40 TV Shows of 2015, #36:

TV continued to eat itself in 2015, as the BBC's satire on the BBC returned for a second, hilarious series. It was certainly bold. A month after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked by the Beeb, the first episode dealt with the Top Gear furore by portraying the Corporation as having banned Clarkson's name. Elsewhere, it was business as usual as marketing speak and the BBC's own talent for creating nebulous job titles were skewered with rapier wit. Hugh Bonneville headed the cast as Head of Values Ian Fletcher, but the ensemble was so strong that all should be praised equally.
