Steven Seagal

Press clippings

In Thom Tuck Goes Straight to DVD (Radio 4) Steven Seagal was the hero of the half hour. Tuck was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2011 for his show about a quest to watch all 54 Disney movies that never made it to the big screen. For this four-part sequel he continues to watch the films that no one else will, starting with Seagal's late period action movies - a scarcely feasible "1,883 minutes of hitting" since 2002.

It's an excellent concept. Tuck's eagle eye for absurdity - Seagal's face is "like someone trying to draw Bruce Lee on a marshmallow" - is evident, but so too is his clear affection for his terrible source material. I can't wait for the Olsen Twins episode.
