Peter Serafinowicz

"Onwards to Mars!" was a catchphrase for 1920s' rocket club members and Helen Keen demonstrates a similar enthusiasm in this entertaining four-part series, romping through the often surprising history of rocket science. Featuring deadpan Peter Serafinowicz as "The Voice of Space", this week's show describes space pioneers Robert H Goddard, Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky and Hermann Oberth.

Irreverent comedy and aerospace engineering don't seem an obvious fit, but It Is Rocket Science, performed by Peter Serafinowicz, Helen Keen and Susy Kane, proves that fact-based boffin buffoonery works. The trio present an accurate account of the history of rocket science, starting in late-19th century Russia with Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky's dreams of space stations.

Serafinowicz for 'Arrested Development' role

Peter Serafinowicz has revealed that he will have a role in the upcoming Arrested Development film.

Comedians ribbing each other about far-fetched tales - it's what Friday-night telly was made for. And this week's gathering of deceivers and doubters may be the sharpest yet. Joining chalk-and-cheese team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack are Ruth Jones (of Gavin & Stacey fame), Jason Manford (The One Show) and comedians Jack Dee and Peter Serafinowicz. In short, every one's a winner. Tonight's best round involves a mystery guest called Ian. The question is, did he save Jones's tortoise from death, sell batteries to David Mitchell via eBay, or get attacked by schoolchildren alongside Manford? Finding out is a blast. Plus there's a new round where host Rob Brydon has a go at fooling the teams himself. But did he really once steal Catherine Zeta-Jones's dinner money?

Full marks to whoever booked the panellists on tonight's Would I Lie To You?. It's a solid gold line-up this week. Joining David Mitchell, Lee Mack and Rob Brydon are Ruth Jones, Jason Manford, Jack Dee and Peter Serafinowicz - taking a break from what is practically a full-time job of filling the Twitter-verse with surreal one-liners.

This week they're all bringing their best poker faces to some very tall tales involving Ray Charles, a tortoise, a human sausage, a cheese and onion sandwich, Lee Mack's life expectancy, and David Mitchell's battery-buying habits.

And Rob Brydon's getting in on the act as well with his own true or false questions - did he really once steal Catherine Zeta-Jones' lunch money?

Peter Serafinowicz Joins Running Wilde

As if Fox's new Will Arnett series Running Wilde didn't already look good, Peter Serafinowicz has now joined the cast as a regular following his guest appearance as Fa'ad Shaoulin, the neighbor and frenemy of Wilde.

This episode in the network's ambitious Comedy Showcase short series, is by and stars Tim Minchin as Jonny, lead singer of rock band Perspex, who's left Australia to find fame and fortune. Just as it seems within his band's grasp he meets Verity, beautiful lead singer of a Christian pop band, and their mutual chemistry is instant. So will this change his path to that of true love and different values or, by inducing deep suffering, make him a better artist? The remarkable supporting cast includes Peter Serafinowicz, Dan Antopolski and Lizzie Roper.

Can tweeting make comedians wittier?

The 140-character limit on Twitter allows comedy writers like Peter Serafinowicz and Graham Linehan to hone their skills.

This week the pop quiz is the launch pad for the manic wit of regular team captains Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus, guest host Alex James and panellists Peter Serafinowicz, Holly Walsh, Newton Faulkner and Jessica Origliasso. That means there's a range of comic styles as divergent as this show's musical tastes usually are from the current Top 40.
