The Velvet Onion, 27th May 2016With the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death approaching, the HH team gather their best bard jokes and return to the Tudor days, when theatre was huge. "It had to be, there wasn't any telly." Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe and Gabriel Spenser delight as bad-boy rappers, while a Gene Kelly-spoofing turn from Miles Jupp centres on an era when people emptied chamber pots out of upstairs windows: "I'm singing in urine."

Chortle, 15th March 2016Radio award for In And Out Of The Kitchen
Miles Jupp and Justin Edwards' Radio 4 sitcom In And Out Of The Kitchen has been honoured at the BBC Audio Drama awards.
Chortle, 1st February 2016Catherine Tate stars in this one-off comedy about an estranged married couple trying to rekindle their love after the trauma of an affair.
Anna (Catherine Tate) checks into a lovely old hotel in Stratford upon Avon for what she hopes will be a peaceful weekend but it seems the old town has been invaded by stag parties. There are medical students in Shakespearean garb vomiting into plant pots and clutching their hungover heads and groaning at the mini-bar bill which is full of drinks and Chunky Kit Kats. The town has clearly slipped into decay. In the old days the worst thing you'd see would be "method actors rehearsing for Coriolanus." Now it looks like Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday night.
And the hotel room doesn't offer much hope of romance. You could sleep in the same bed once occupied by Shakespeare, Anna is told, even though it was recently ordered from DFS.
Miles Jupp plays her estranged husband and they try to claw back some passion even though Anna suspects her husband might prefer Newsnight to sex.
