Jonathan Aris

Get Duked! review

The zany trip your Duke of Edinburgh's Award should have been.

Review: Get Duked!

A silly stoner comedy about teen delinquents bumbling their way across the Highlands contains every bit of the stupidity and hijinks you'd expect. All with major style.

Get Duked! review

In this busy British comedy, four teenagers are dumped in the Scottish Highlands, where they spiral into high jinks and danger.

Movie review - Get Duked! (2019)

In its own slippery game of generational cat and mouse, Doff's film is one that brazenly revels in absurdity; unashamedly committing to increasingly implausible sub-plots involving bread thieves, dim-witted police prejudice and the sharpness of forks.

Get Duked! review

What surely would have made a good reality-TV series - three juvenile delinquents from the big city, plus an awkward kid with no friends, are dropped in the Scottish Highlands and left to find their way back to civilization - works even better as a dark comedy goof when a couple of lunatics start shooting at them from afar.

Review - The End of the Fxxxing World: series 2

Did we need a second series? Not really, but I'm glad one exists.

Ronnie Corbett plays Sandy Hopper in this new comedy by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent. He's 65, a widower, living on in the old family home with his ancient dog Henry. His son and daughter (both married disastrously, according to Sandy) can't wait for him to move so that they can sell the house and divide the spoils. He won't, though. Not until the dog dies, he says. Sally Grace plays (charmingly) his nosy but nice neighbour. Liza Tarbuck (wittily) plays Dolores, his sexy but practical lodger. Jonathan Aris does an impressively monstrous son-in-law.
