Murder In Successville review

It's probably too inconsistent to be a must-see, but top marks all round for trying something different.

Review: Russell Howard's Stand Up Central

Viewers will tune in for Russell Howard but will, hopefully, have their comic horizons expanded by the support acts.

Review: Peter Kay's Car Share

While the LOLs are limited, there is an affectionate, feelgood atmosphere to the show.

Review: Ballot Monkeys

Comparisons with the The Thick Of It are inevitable. With less swearing and less cynicism, Ballot Monkeys doesn't have savage bite than Armando Iannucci's classic, but can still boast plenty of sharp lines as well as the ability to reflect the realities of campaigning.

Review - Max & Ivan: The End

Crucially, the busy plot is driven forward by a two high-wattage performances - not least a surprisingly athletic sex scene that shows off their physical skills to great advantage. Aptly for a show about nuclear meltdown, it's a blast.

John Kearns: Shtick in Melbourne

The audience, always leaning forward to figure out what is going on through the layered complexities of his soul-searching, are mostly won over, initial reservations dissolving as they buy into his unconventionally endearing wit.

Review - Alan Carr: Yap, Yap, Yap

'I enjoyed that,' I overheard a woman saying on the way out. 'I just wish I could remember any of it.' That seems the perfect summary of the empty distraction Alan Carr offers.

TV review: Inside No 9

This is classy TV, a cracking start to an anthology, in which each episode offers fresh delights unlike the last. Bring on No 2 in this bunch of No 9s.

Pompidou review

Pompidou is a commendably bold attempt to produce a style of comedy missing from TV - exactly the brief which the BBC should be following. But the problem with experiments is that sometimes they don't quite work.
