On the eve of her new sitcom, Julia Davis talks anxieties, personal and professional, with Sarah Hughes.

You, Me and the Apocalypse review

Armageddon time has never been so much fun - or so thoughtfully explored - and that friction makes this show a joy to watch.

Why women are taking over TV comedy

Fed up with being sidelined, female writers and actors are proving their comedy chops and filling up schedules in 2016.

On BBC2 they were celebrating a very British icon as Bafta presented a look back over Stephen Fry's multi-faceted career. This sort of thing tends to get a bit smug and certainly there was little fresh ground covered as the likes of Hugh Laurie, Michael Sheen and the producer John Lloyd paid tribute.

Yet Fry, like Beckham, is oddly appealing and this tribute worked best when he spoke for himself, talking illuminatingly about his early life - "I was incredibly disruptive and a bad influence on others" - honestly about his breakdown post-Cell Mates and movingly about his experience making the 1997 Oscar Wilde biopic, Wilde.

In recent years Fry has been so swept up in hosting quiz shows and award shows and chattering on Twitter that it's easy to forget that he is also an actor of great charm and skill. This film went some way to reminding viewers of that. Despite the backslapping, job done.

Tripped review

The best word for E4's newest comedy is 'amiable'.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 10 review

You, Me & The Apocalypse was a show that grew on me week by week. What initially seemed like a lighthearted romp darkened to become an expertly judged story of love, loss, betrayal, and sacrifice.

Cold Feet is a sitcom that belongs in the past

Cold Feet, the quintessential 1990s rom-com series, is coming back to ITV. Oh no, says one-time mega-fan Sarah Hughes, reviving a show that was so of its time can only end badly.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 9 review

Well, everything's coming into focus now as we head into the final straight. Or at least we have a pretty good idea of how most of our disparate gang end up in the Slough bunker.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 8 review

I loved the dancing nuns celebrating and partying. This show might be getting dark but it retains a seriously silly streak that's hard to resist.
