Stars can get away with dodging publicity - but where will it end, asks Mark Lawson.
Mark Lawson, Radio Times, 12th June 2018Peter Kay's Car Share ended with just - just - enough grit to redeem it from wholesale mawkishness. Sight gags - a billboard for C4's forthcoming My Big Fat Undateable Bake Off - and local radio trickles ("Forever FM... get in touch with your favourite bubble-wrap memories...") helped, and Kay and Sian Gibson gelled as ever, but you wonder whether both aren't just a little glad to get shot of it, after an unsuccessful (worse, just unfunny) improvised recent episode for which they got pelters on (sigh) social media. It'll still be hailed as something of a delight in reminding us of the glories that can be found in the dullest of routine lives, but I hadn't quite remembered the relative grubbiness of some of the gags. Then again, life - the idea of human perfection being, remember, preposterous - is mostly grubby. Amen to that.
