Paul Whitehouse

Radio 4 revives Nurse

Paul Whitehouse's Nurse is returning to Radio 4 following the axing of its TV version.

Radio Times review

The latest (very good) series of the Simon Day/Rhys Thomas spoof rockumentary series comes to an end with a reunion gig for Thotch, organised with typical skill (and dishonesty) by Michael Kitchen's slippery manager John Farrow. The only way he can get Day's Pern and the rest of the guys back together is by pretending that Paul Whitehouse's Pat Quid has dementia.

On the way we meet reclusive former bandmate Bennett St John (a brilliant Simon Callow), sample Quid's fishing show and get an insight into Pern's deepest yearning: his desire for Dad's approval. Will Pern Sr (Peter Bowles) attend the gig? And will Peter Gabriel show up again like he did last in the last finale?

Opinion: comedy gigs of the year 2015

Featuring Katherine Ryan, Bryony Kimmings, Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse, Rob Delaney, Sam Simmons, Simon Amstell, Dara O Briain, Daniel Kitson, Bill Bailey and Joseph Morpurgo.

The sadistic storytelling series returns with a new selection of fables for adults. Paul Whitehouse narrates the tale of a "fully immersive battle re-enactment" that inevitably gets out of hand. Next, Carrie Fisher's soothing presence contrasts with a story about a young couple who check into a mysterious B&B. Why is it the only place in the town with a vacancy? It's not just because of the three-minute shower rule. The twisted lovechild of Jackanory and Tales of the Unexpected delivers darkness and laughs.

Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse, comedy review

Friendly joshing was one of the themes of the night and there was more than an echo of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's spontaneous giggles in Enfield and Whitehouse's bantering, says Bruce Dessau.
