Last night's TV: Outnumbered

I reckon the smartypants kids in Outnumbered need a good thrashing.

Outnumbered Series 3 review

Outnumbered isn't the best sitcom of last year but how encouraging is it to see a popular, award winning mainstream comedy that doesn't resort to overblown situations, pointless cameos and a laughter track to somehow remind people it's supposed to be humorous?

What I love about being in Outnumbered

I'd have to say my favourite scene of series three was one featuring myself and Kelly, a young good looking waitress that Jake has his eye on.

Outnumbered Review: One Too Many?

Unfortunately the programme-makers over exploit the kids' skills with little effort of their own, meaning the show turns out very similar each time. Has it got the shelf life for a whole new series? Fans will be pleased to hear it's just more of the same but many will be tired of it by now.

The Daily Mail, captured in song

It's just what you've always wanted. The Daily Mail set to music - but in a good way. No Littlejohn on guitar, you'll be glad to know, Paul Dacre is not on the drums and Allison Pearson is not doing her best Duffy impression out front. Just comic singer Dan (and Dan), some comedy headlines and a tune you'll still be fighting to get out of your head a day later. Altogether now - "Binge Britain! Single mums! Pensioners! Hoodie scum! Oversexed and underaged! Criminals get Marks & Spencer vouchers when released on bail ... it must be true because I read it in the Daily Mail."

No laughter required: silence is golden

Whether it's laughter from a can or the giggles of a real-life audience - recorded chortling detracts from TV comedy.

Laugh lines: How Garry Shandling inspired Miranda

One of the few recent laugh-out-loud sitcoms, Miranda showed a comedic shift away from the neo-naturalism of The Office and The Thick Of It.
