Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Fleabag's genius, but it's for posh girls

In the aftermath of its second season, it's time to reassess Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her champagne receptions.

How Fleabag is changing the narrative

A lot of us working in comedy have been aware for some time of the impact that Fleabag would inevitably have.

Six things James Bond could learn from Fleabag

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the creator of the smash-hit sitcom, has been recruited to add some zip to the next 007 film. Here's hoping for added humour.

Much has been made of two aspects of this slice of TV perfection: the taboo hotness of Andrew Scott's (unnamed) priest, and the double breach of the "fourth wall", with Scott suddenly catching her at a to-camera fugue. Smart, indeed sublime, but for me one huge memory has been the credibility of the relationship between two sisters, outwardly at war, inwardly at deep peace since birth. (Typical exchange, from the preceding week: Claire, desperately, "You got any cigarettes?" Fleabag, "No." Claire, emphatically, "Good.") In such thorough self-knowledge, of every character, will always lie the essence of fine writing.

For now, having waved goodbye to priest, to fox, with a moue of hesitancy but a beautifully resolute finality to camera, Waller-Bridge will have to content herself with overseeing the unaccountably low-profile Killing Eve, and she and the rest of the disappointing Waller-Bridge clan (sister Isobel wrote the music for this) struggle on wriggling through the foothills of talent.

Fleabag's priest is an exploitative muppet

Andrew Scott's character fits into a lineage of Hot But Horrible men in fiction, which rather than for lusting after exist to warn us away from them in real life.

Future looks bright for Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Creator of hit sitcom not short of offers and hints Fleabag could return - when she is 50.

Fleabag: Three final minutes will go down as classic

If Fleabag were a conventional comedy, the kind in which outrageous behaviour is indulged and applauded until it is safely resolved in a happy-ever-after romance, or one character rushing through an airport to declare their true feelings, we would have seen the ending of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's masterly show a mile off.

Here's to Fleabag

A searing examination of grief and love, and the comedy show of this decade.
