Press clippings Page 9

A new dramedy from David Cross, starring Stephen Mangan as travel writer Andrew, who divides his time between two families. This opener charts an excruciating dinner engagement, where Andrew worries about being discovered. Your enjoyment may rest on how much you sympathise with Andrew's anguish at his own situation.

This week's guests for the good-natured fib-fest are Stephen Mangan, Mark Bonnar, Sheila Hancock and Anita Rani but, as ever, the show truly hits its stride when Lee Mack and David Mitchell lock horns and engage their counterintuitive comic chemistry. There are vanishingly few things we can rely on in today's bewildering world but it seems this programme is one of them.
