Kookyville review

It was an absolute train wreck - the most unwatchably abhorrent, painfully unfunny half-hour of comedy Channel 4 have surely ever broadcast.

TV review: Hebburn

BBC Two's new sitcom Hebburn features chavvy slappers, incontinent pensioners and a scene of copious vomiting. It's like Little Britain never went away... Ot at least that's the fate the show COULD have had, were it not for the immense affection that seeps through every scene.

BBC Asian Network recording reviewed

8,000 people applied for the 300 tickets to this BBC radio recording - while the content was resolutely mainstream, resonating with everyone, albeit stronger with those who shared a background with the comics.

Chortle review

Whatever Black Pond's minor flaws, Kingsley and Sharpe have certainly created an impressive calling card, sure to bring them more work in the future. Whether the same can be said of Chris Langham, despite his impressive performance, will remain in the hands of others.
