Kevin Eldon, Johnny Vegas, Kim Cattrall, Vic Reeves and Frank Skinner are amongst the stars of four silent physical comedies on Sky Arts.
British Comedy Guide, 21st April 2015Sky's high-concept comedy, in which therapist Rebecca Front combs over the psyches of her famous patients, concludes its second series tonight with Gracie Fields (Frances Barber) and Daphne du Maurier (Morgana Robinson) among those exposing their neuroses. One of the less amusing, and less admirable, aspects of the show is the male comedians' pantomime dame-style grotesque parodies of women, a gag taken to extremes here as Mathew Baynton, Kevin Eldon and Dustin Demri-Burns play a trio of hideous witches.
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 19th December 2014'It's Kevin' not returning for second series
Kevin Eldon has confirmed that his BBC Two comedy It's Kevin won't be returning for a second series. The sketch show debuted last year and received a positive reaction from critics and viewers.
Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 11th December 2014Radio Times review
The adult storybook series continues a strong season with this second tranche of tales. Ben Miller is up first, reading Alexander Kirk's Man's Best Friend, a decidedly weird yarn about a Victorian gent (hilariously acted out by the always brilliant Kevin Eldon) who transplants the brain of his much-loved dog into the body of a beautiful woman.
Then comes Sue Perkins doing Melissa Bubnic's Return to Sender, a modern tale of a shophaholic called Daisy who meets a kindred spirit - but with disastrous results.
These stories are oddly moral as well as decidedly wacky, and fans will not be disappointed. There is also a Bake Off line inserted into Perkins's story that ices this particular cake very nicely indeed.
