Mapp & Lucia: Richardson shines in lightweight comedy

On the surface, Mapp and Lucia is a great drama due to its lavish production design, beautiful costumes, wonderful cinematography and fantastic performances. However, I found it to be fairly lightweight and thought the story really dragged throughout the hour. Being unaware of Benson's original stories, I wonder if Mapp and Lucia would've been better had it been a two-parter rather than stripped over three instalments. However, after watching just one episode of Mapp and Lucia I have decided it's not really for me and won't be tuning in over the next two nights.

Review: Richard Herring's Leicester Square Podcast

When Richard Herring shouts "RHLSTP!" to his audience at the Leicester Square Theatre, they holler it back instantaneously, and at twice the volume. It immediately becomes clear that I've stumbled across a society, a cult, and something that I want to be a part of.
