Douglas Is Cancelled review
Rows about cancel culture tend to be reductive. A clear binary between those who harrumph "you can't say anything any more" and the righteously censorious. A nuanced path somewhere between the two is probably society's best way forward, but as a savvy newspaper editor says in Steven Moffat's twisty new comedy-drama Douglas Is Cancelled: "Outrage is exciting, nuance is work."

Rachel Cooke, The New Statesman, 26th June 2024Douglas Is Cancelled: Hugh Bonneville's culture war show is skin-crawling
