BBC, 30th November 2011

Thursday night seems to be BBC Two's night for comedies that don't actually provide many laughs (see Rev). In Ricky Gervais's dwarf mockumentary, Warwick Davis finds his estranged wife is getting comfy with her solicitor - who has already moved his slippers into the former marital home. It's another enjoyable episode, but far from laugh-out-loud funny.

British Comedy Guide, 25th November 2011

Although it doesn't quite reach the heights of either The Office or Extras, this new mockumentary series from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant does have its moments. In tonight's third episode, Warwick Davis, the show's star (who, in case you missed the pun, is a famous actor who also happens to be a dwarf) launches his new website, which does rather less well than he was hoping.
