Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney pick up where they left off: season three opens by continuing the scene in which "Rob" discovers "Sharon" has furtively bought the morning-after pill. Has she cheated? She was too drunk to know, so there follows an almost agonising farce in which two vulnerable characters wonder if their relationship is over. Thanks to Horgan and Delaney's mastery at mixing cringe with rude, roaring laughs, though, it's still a joyful catharsis.

Sharon Horgan talks Catastrophe

One way effectively to describe Irish-English Bafta/Emmy-awarded writer, actor, director, and mother of two, Sharon Horgan, is "busy".

Catastrophe series 3 preview

Between seasons one or two of Catastrophe, the action leapt forward several years to land Sharon and Rob with two young kids. But no such trickery this time around, as series three starts exactly where the last one ended: with Rob finding a receipt for the morning-after pill his partner brought after a drunken fling, and Sharon with some explaining to do.

Preview - Catastrophe

A welcome return for the excruciating sitcom that is guaranteed to have you squirming in your seat.

Catastrophe, series 3: preview

Just because a sitcom is about a family, doesn't mean it has to be family friendly.

TV preview: Catastrophe, Series 3

Delaney and Horgan have such fantastic chemistry in every scene they share I'm surprised they haven't run away together in real life. But if nothing else writing this series is a constant reminder that love affairs are never, ever simple.

Review: Catastrophe gets off to a flyer

The opening episode of the third series was rich in incident and laughs finds Ben Dowell.

Catastrophe series 3 episode 1 review

As the third series kicks off, it's clear that Catastrophe's biting, barb-tastic writing is as strong as ever.

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney discuss their comedy

The co-writers, who also star in Channel 4's sitcom Catastrophe, which returns for its third series, wanted to portray a recognisable marriage, not a sitcom marriage, that 'in real life' would end in a 'murder-suicide'.

Gerald Gilbert, The Independent, 27th February 2017

In bed with Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan

It's an unusual, slightly alarming privilege to be invited to watch a "bedroom scene". Especially given that, in Channel 4's superb sitcom, Catastrophe, the bedroom sometimes feels like one of the few places where married couple Sharon and Rob (writer/stars Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney) don't get it on.
