Ten comics who donned blackface
Keith Lemon creator Leigh Francis last week apologised for mimicking black celebrities including Michael Jackson and Craig David on Bo' Selecta! 'I've been talking to some people,' he said in a tearful statement in the wake of the intensifying Black Lives Matter campaign. 'I didn't realise how offensive it was back then.' But he's far from the only comedian to flirt with blackface, long after its racism became apparent.

A bloody good end to another brilliant series.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 9th March 2020Inside No. 9, series 5, episode 6 review: The Stakeout
There are limits. Whatever Time Lord technology Inside No. 9 uses to pack its 30-minute episodes fuller than a foie gras goose, there isn't always room for everything.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 9th March 2020Inside No. 9 puts a twist on the police procedural
It feels strange now to think that the first series of Inside No. 9 included one episode without Shearsmith among the cast and another without Pemberton because they were worried that viewers might get sick of the sight of them. Five series in and fans do really seem to watch the show for them, rather than for whoever the guest stars of the week might be, and their longstanding chemistry is put to good use in this two-hander episode.
