Suranne Jones

One woman's new comedy drama is another woman's invitation to fill her ears with quick-setting cement. I'm not going to reveal whether I'm currently wiping the tears from my happily strained eyes or sitting in a hospital emergency department, the reason being that my judgement on what makes a successful comedy was written off years ago. I saw a live performance by an act who went by the name of Little Britain and came back to Radio Times to tell everyone that I thought they were rubbish... This new sitcom is billed as "The Thelma and Louise of the sandwich world", with Suranne Jones as Hope and Susan Cookson as Jodie fulfilling those roles. Or should I say rolls, because 90 per cent of the jokes are bread-related.
