Opinion: comedies that were pulled earlier than planned

If Host The Week has been axed by Channel 4 after one episode, as has been reported, it joins a very select band of television comedies that were pulled earlier than planned.

Robin Ince interview

I have been researching imposter syndrome recently and it is interesting to find out that it is not universal.

Robin Ince on his return to stand-up

It is almost two years since I offered my resignation from the world of stand-up from a hotel room in Brisbane. The crack showed after the first year, when Professor Cox asked if I fancied joining him on tour in Australia and The UK.

Review: Slapstick Festival, Colston Hall

Sometimes the best thing to do in the face of adversity is to laugh at it. With the inauguration of a dangerous right-wing clown just the previous day, Saturday evening's programming for this year's Slapstick Festival was the perfect antidote. Or, as Ian Lavender (Dad's Army's Pike) described it before the screening of Charlie Chaplin's classic 1940 satire on tyranny, The Great Dictator: "Next up, our tribute to Donald Trump..."

Review: The Entire Universe

Both the sense of wonder and sense of humour are undimmed here.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th December 2016

This is, approximately, Monty Python's Galaxy Song extrapolated into an hour-long special. It's a collaboration between Eric Idle and Brian Cox, hung on the somewhat laboured conceit that Cox thinks he is presenting an academic lecture but has, in fact, been roped into a glitzy musical. It has its moments and, naturally, there's a "hilarious" Uranus pun. Robin Ince, Warwick Davis and Noel Fielding also star.

TV review: The Entire Universe

Noel Fielding as a shiny gold Bee Gee singing about gravity? That's just one of the many delights of this truly odd programme which mixes music, comedy and science in a way that has rarely been done before. The Sky At Night this ain't.
