Tamsin Greig

Radio Times review

Stephen Fry and Daniel Rigby return for a new series of the gay equine epistolary romance, set in the Napoleonic War. Fry's hearty voice is perfect for the French stallion Marengo, while Rigby is the more camp, hysteria-prone English steed Copenhagen.

Introduced by Tamsin Greig, this week's letters include the famous words of Abba "at Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender" spoken with knowing deadpan by Daniel Rigby, who shot to fame when he beat both Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch for the 2011 best actor Bafta for his role as Eric Morecambe in the BBC drama Eric and Ernie, but is now playing the geeky Simon in the BT advertisements!

Tamsin Greig: Black Books, Green Wing and now crime

Ten minutes into our interview, Tamsin Greig wants to know something. "Do you like police dramas?" she asks casually. It's a bit of a loaded question really, as the whole reason we're talking is that she is about to star in The Guilty, a three-part ITV police drama that could well be the new Broadchurch. I suggest that everyone likes police dramas and she nods thoughtfully.

Tamsin Greig: I was 'very serious' before comedy career

Tamsin Grieg feels that her comedy career has overshadowed her dramatic prowess.

In praise of ... Tamsin Greig

She is a rarity: a successful 46-year-old woman in a field that often fails to provide decent parts for middle-aged females.

Tamsin Greig: 'I'd love to play Cleopatra... just ask me'

On her return to the stage, the star of Green Wing talks about ageing, her love of London, and what her kids think when waiters call her 'Sir'.

Series two provided little respite for downtrodden British writers Sean and Beverly as they fought to keep their sitcom - and marriage - alive whilst all around them in La La Land were losing their heads. It didn't help that Beverley (Tamsin Greig) had slept with the show's star Matt LeBlanc (Matt LeBlanc), or that Sean (Stephen Mangan) was now sleeping with the female lead. The second season of Episodes continued to offer a smart, funny, hyper-real story of 'normal' people trying to make it in Hollywood.

The Goodmans' reservations about celebrating a Christian holiday are quickly cast aside, but the tree is a step too far for Jackie (Tamsin Greig). Jonny is hungover, making brother Adam even more of an irritant, and weird neighbour Jim (Mark Heap) is angling for a spot at the table. His plans are initially scuppered after his german shepherd molests Martin's mother's ailing dog in the garden. But there's a lovely moment of festive togetherness from an unexpected source.

Morecambe & Wise could bring a smile to the face of a coma patient. Their much-imitated, never-bettered brand of music-hall surrealism has aged remarkably well - it's no real surprise that we're still celebrating this inventive, inclusive and incredibly good-natured double act. This five-part series is an unabashed wallow in their finest moments and also digs a few unfamiliar morsels out of the vaults. For example, the deathless 'André Preview' routine was first performed almost a decade earlier, before being refined into the tour-de-force of Christmas TV-defining tomfoolery that we know and love. One minor caveat; the celebrity reaction shots are truly superfluous - we know Eric and Ern are funny and we don't need to watch David Baddiel or Tamsin Greig laughing at them to have that confirmed. Still, overall, sunshine can consider itself well and truly brought.

Tamsin Greig & Miranda Hart want to be Miss Marple

After the fuss about Jennifer Garner playing Miss Marple, Tamsin Greig and Miranda Hart say they want to have a go, too.
