TV review: Ghosts Series 2 Episode 1

There's still enough going on here that it's a show I'm extremely fond of, the cast are without exception bloody superb, and the concept is an appealing one indeed. But whereas the majority of the previous series were of the four star and more variety this was definitely one of the weaker episodes, enjoyable for sure, but lacking in moments which would make anyone laugh out loud over and over again.

Ghosts Series 2 review

It's been more than a year since Ghosts were on our screens - but it seems like they have never been away, such is the way these spooks from down the ages already feel so familiar.

Comedians on why art gives them a calming break

A new exhibition displays the work of some of Britain's biggest comedians.

The ninth season of this daft and yet oddly endearing comedy challenge concludes. Tonight, in order to win the favour of Greg Davies and Alex Horne, David Baddiel, Ed Gamble, Jo Brand, Katy Wix and Rose Matafeo are challenged to "do the most preposterous thing with this chickpea". Their creative solutions are suitably ridiculous.

Taskmaster: series 9, episode 2: review

Jo Brand and David Baddiel together make a potent comic force.

The Bafta-nominated letting agent comedy Stath Lets Flats returned, as unapologetically daft as ever. It's co-created by siblings Jamie and Natasia Demetriou, who play another pair of siblings, idiotic Stath and dopey Sophie (it took me a while to recognise Natasia as Nadja, the minxish vampire from What We Do in the Shadows).

Stath Lets Flats sticks to a retro sitcom format, with plenty of gags and physical comedy from the desperate, delusional Stath. He yearns to impress his father (Christos Stergioglou) enough to take over the family business, but thus far has been foiled by the brash new manager (Dustin Demri-Burns), and Stath's bitchy, ambitious former fling Carole (Katy Wix).

There's a side-plot involving a flirtation between Sophie and her bashful colleague, Al (Alastair Roberts), which could yet turn into the greatest filing cabinet-flanked romance since Tim and Dawn in The Office. For now, most of the comedy revolves around Stath's innate stupidity - on finding out that Carole was "preggo", he gasped: "Are you the mother?" Well, I laughed.
