TV review: Walliams & Friend with Miranda Richardson

I don't know how much this week's guest Miranda Richardson cost but I did wonder how available she was as she doesn't do a great deal in this episode.

Rich Hall: Hoedown 2016 - review

Hall is a hugely enjoyable comedian to watch. He clearly still gets a kick out of performing and he has the audience totally on his side, even when he runs dry of improvised lyrics or stumbles on a punch-line. He demonstrates an intelligent wit, and, rather at odds with the grumpy personae he regularly demonstrates on panel shows, a positive outlook on a world in turmoil.

Why Richard Gadd failed to win a Malcolm Hardee Award

"When I visualised the show, there was only one room in the whole of Edinburgh I visualised - the Banshee Labyrinth Cinema Room. I needed a screen that was bigger than me. I needed a screen that would engulf me and engulf the audience. I thought: What do I do? Do I sacrifice audience numbers and money for artistic gain? And the answer was: Absolutely. I didn't do it to create a buzz or as a cunning stunt or anything like that. It was a genuine artistic decision that I made."
