John Hopkins (I)

Online sitcom Intergalactic Sausage heading this way

The trailer for a new web series created by and starring John Hopkins and Joey Page has just hit the digital airwaves. Intergalactic Sausage is a sci-fi sitcom set in a burger van in a Lichfield bus station in the not too distant future, after an apocalypse that no-one has really noticed. Humans have trashed plant earth, and it's now possible to take a bus into space, (if you have the fare and are willing to risk it), which means that people are able to go and wreck new planets.

If real on-screen charm was enough to make an entertaining crime caper then there's no doubt that Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson have it in spades.

Attractive French locations add a pleasant background for an undernourished script that finds Brosnan and his ex-wife Thompson joining forces to steal a precious diamond from the businessman crook who has left them flat broke.

Brosnan and Thompson, and Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie as their happy go-lucky-accomplices all give writer-director John Hopkins much more than he deserves but in the end they, and the audience, are let down.

Fans of the underrated Snuff Box will be delighted at the prospect of For the Win, another pop at the surreal sketch show featuring the excellent and slightly creepy Rich Fulcher. He joins a cast including John Hopkins, Lizzie Daykin and London Hughes with knowingly peculiar material penned by Matt Stronge and Hopkins. There's Embarrassing Bodies on Ice, a talking nipple called Reg and a resurgence of the bumbag, while Lizzie has some relationship issues and so decides to buy herself a python. Some of this works, some doesn't.
