Preview - The Last Leg: Elegtion Special

To quote Edmund Blackadder: "The hustings are over, the bunting is down, the mad hysteria is at an end. After the chaos of a general election, we can return to normal."

Elections, eh? We've been burned before by parties that promised the world, beckoned in by beaming frontmen, only to see hope cruelly crushed by hard reality. But never mind, here's an extended edition of The Last Leg, with Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe sifting through the flotsam of polling day. Guests include Steve Coogan, Brendan Cox and any politicians still willing to appear on camera.

Review: Mindhorn Is the perfect summer comedy

Mindhorn is one of those movies that only works for viewers who are open to it. As a person who is very open to the sense of humor on display here, I found Mindhorn to be one of the most boldly original movies to grace screens thus far in 2017. And it doesn't hurt that the movie comes from one half of the mastermind team behind The Mighty Boosh.

The Trip: a show about death that deserves to live on

Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan's show is an absurd meditation on ageing - and as the years go by, it just gets better. It would be a grave mistake to stop it now.

It's the end of the road for Michael Winterbottom's superlative road trilogy, with a climax that utterly pulls the rug out from under our feet, while wryly commenting on themes explored throughout the series. Before we get to that, though, there's the Alhambra citadel and Málaga to drink in, and a riff on Anthony Hopkins channelling Picasso as William Bligh of HMS Bounty ("I'll put the nose where the cheek is, damn your eyes, sir!"). Amazing.
