Review: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

Celeb cameos galore - including one from a GSN staffer! - in this screwball comedy, but beware a lazy Caitlyn Jenner-inspired subplot, sweetie.

Q&A: Mark Gatiss

"I was a very lazy child, but I think I've made up for it by being a workaholic."

By now, it might be that you've simply had enough of politics. It would be understandable given the length of the election campaign. But if you can find room for one more political wafer-thin mint, this James Graham play starring Catherine Tate, Mark Gatiss and Nina Sosanya almost certainly deserves a look. First broadcast live from the Donmar Warehouse on election night and covering - both temporally and thematically - the last hour-and-a-half before polls closes, it's a neat idea but one that may end up getting slightly lost in the hubbub of the day. If you were too busy exercising your democratic right to sit down and watch a play about other people doing the same, here's another chance.
