Report from the screening of The Wrong Mans
It's the half-hour comedy that has the sensibilities of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th August 2013Man Down review
At heart, it's a brilliant example of a mainstream sitcom (just with a bit too much swearing for primetime) but with a twist and heart of its own. Channel 4 - and Greg Davies - deserve to have a monster hit on their hands.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th August 2013Latitude review: Eddie Izzard
Elements of his comedy heroes Monty Python are evident in some of the verbal sketches... his human sacrifice bit, especially, could certainly fit in one of their historical films with the ruling priests made to look very, very silly.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd July 2013Latitude review: David Schneider
He presents 'found comedy' from the web, strung along with some unenlightening commentary about how on the one hand the internet is good for us, and on the other hand it isn't, and a suggestion of how social media leads us all to believe our every thought is important, when it probably isn't. There's the occasional joke of his own along the way, but most of the chuckles come second-hand from the screen grabs.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st July 2013Latitude review: Daniel Kitson
A late-night offering of his 45-minute 'adventure poem' Lucinda Ding And The Monstrous Thing, with his long-term collaborator Gavin Osborn on guitar. The Poetry Arena has surely never been more popular - especially at midnight - and for good reason.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st July 2013Latitude review: Russell Kane
Each broad reference of Jemima buying The Guardian at Waitrose, or whatever, is followed with an argument with the critic in his head, accusing him of being simplistic. That fictitious reviewer has a point... but it means Kane gets have his cake and eat it.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st July 2013Latitude review: Terry Alderton
Terry Alderton is far from normal: he's doing groundbreaking things with the form of comedy that no one normal would ever think of.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st July 2013Latitude review: Marcus Brigstocke's Policy Unit
Any panel show is only as good as its guests; and this line-up of wannabe wonks, certainly delivered.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st July 2013Latitude review: Nick Helm and The Helmettes
Seeing a six-year-old girl merrily punching the air as Helm hollers out his filth is certainly an incongruous site, if not the finest example of good parenting.
