Cold Feet review: Less than the sum of its parts

More than two decades since Cold Feet first arrived on screens, the new series is a curiously uneven watch - and not as much like putting on a comfy old cardy as you'd imagine.

Mike Bullen says Cold Feet is taking break amid pay row

Fay Ripley says wages still vary between her and co-stars Hermione Norris, James Nesbitt, Robert Bathurst and John Thomson.

Plebs review: Coarse, stupid and very welcome!

Hurray for these revolting Romans.

Jumpers for goalposts: 'The Fast Show' at 25

"And then, the BBC2 sketch series The Fast Show turned 25, giving a whole generation of comedy lovers a chance to reflect on the enormous impact the series, and its cast, have had on British culture ever since. Which was nice."

The past Edinburgh Comedy Award winners you should know

Before we find out who won this year's prize, we've taken a look back over some of the most significant wins since the Edinburgh Comedy Awards began.

Episode three of the risible clip show - think You've Been Framed meets Rude Tube, but sports-themed - features segments including "humans balancing things on their head". While such shows usually come with a "don't try this at home" warning, getting into your own minor accident would likely be more fun.

John Thomson and Jessica Knappett add so much comedy as hosts Jack Bullman and Nicky Brimble that it would be a crime to dismiss this clipshow as just another web-style mash-up. This time out we enjoy hilarious footage of Self-Inflicted Nunchuck Thwacks and Heavyweight Supercar Exiting.

It might sound like a corny clip show, but this spoof-fest hosted by "Jack Bullman" (John Thomson) and "Nicky Brimble" (Jessica Knappett) in which "everything is a sport and anyone can be crowned a champion" turns out to be a funny mash-up of made-up sports from horse football to "dog-sticking".
