Mrs Brown Rides Again - live review

The references to gays are horribly unfunny, the show's heavy-handed Oirishness makes me uncomfortable and many of the jokes are so old you could supply the punchlines. But there's an undeniable warmth to this show and it's filled with big laughs because of Brendan O'Carroll's superb clowning.

Twenty Twelve, BBC Two, review

If Twenty Twelve's creators were looking for inspiration for their mockumentary about those making London 2012 happen, they need have gone no further than reading the headlines (now daily) in London newspapers about Tube drivers demanding more wedge to work during the Games, the Civil Service asking their staff to work from home and the London Mayor's transport officials suggesting that August may be a good time to find an alternative route to work - this after Londoners have put up with years of delays and cancellations while the system was being upgraded not for their benefit, but for visitors to the event.

Review: Hit the Road Jack

Jack Whitehall has a very likeable on-stage presence, and that charm is noticeable in Hit the Road Jack - not quite the right vehicle, but one that does showcase a lot of his talents.
