Tamsin Greig

Episodes will be back for a fifth series says LeBlanc

BBC Two comedy in which the Friends star plays a version of himself alongside Stephen Mangan and Tamsin Greig will be back for another run - but LeBlanc is in no hurry to get back to work.

You can still revisit every episode of the innovative, critically acclaimed sitcom following the often surreal lives of the staff at the East Hampton Hospital. Stars Tamsin Greig, Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt have achieved much since.

The double Bafta-winning sitcom from the early Noughties is available in its entirety to watch on Channel 4's on-demand site. Dylan Moran is at his sardonic best as an anti-social bookshop owner, while Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig star as his less misanthropic, equally eccentric friends.

Tamsin Greig interview: her musical debut

Comic actress Tamsin Greig is about to make her musical theatre debut in London's West End in a musical adaptation of Pedro Almodovar's Oscar-nominated film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

Lou (Harry Landis) - the elderly "gentleman" who grandma (Frances Cuka) dated in series two - inexplicably reappeared in churlish fashion a few episodes back to berate her "punk rocker" grandsons among others. Now the purpose for his return is clear, with the pair's wedding providing the ideal excuse for full-blown shambles as series three comes to a close. Joyous cries of Mazel Tov seem unlikely as the couple head up the aisle, much to the dismay of Jackie and Martin (Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter).

Radio Times review

Plot twists! Mad monologues! Laugh-out-loud moments! Once again, Episodes builds up a head of comic steam just in time for… the end of a series. It's as if the writers work back from the finale and use previous instalments to fill in gaps. Fair enough if you're writing, say, a conspiracy thriller, but odd with a sitcom, where you need to fire zingers each week.

All the same, it's a joy to see Tamsin Greig given some comic red meat for a change. Moaning and snarking has become Beverly's default mode, from which Greig can work wonders, but now things kick up a gear. Her and Sean's script is suddenly the hottest thing in Hollywood, but Beverly doesn't care. She wants out. Cue a lovely, farcical climax with a furious routine from Beverly about Hollywood power games, using a china teacup as a prop.

It's not the only set piece of the episode. Elsewhere crazy network boss Castor lays into the TV business from another angle, in a public implosion that ends with the memorable sign-off, "How about that, my zombies?!"
