British Comedy Guide, 4th June 2020Comedy actors and writers up for RTS Awards
The shortlists for the Royal Television Society Awards 2020 have been announced. Phoebe Waller-Bridge leads the list of comedy-related nominations, appearing in three of the categories.
British Comedy Guide, 3rd March 2020Channel 4's comedy Home continues to delight to an absurd degree. Sami looks bound to get at least one girl, despite hardly trying: he's just a thoughtful, kind, funny man. Douglas Henshall is appearing now as an appalling ex, a smug, entitled irritant; it's as far as an actor can come from Shetland's Jimmy Perez and still own the same face.
He's just one of the cast strengths in Rufus Jones's little ensemble sitcom. Another highlight was an unimpeachable extended discussion between Sami (Youssef Kerkour) and his shopkeeper pal Raj, two non-drinking immigrants, about the perfect British pub. Warm, thought-provoking, clever without clever-clever, always.
