Ben Miller interview
Funny man Ben Miller, 50, talks being stupid in real life (not true), living for comedy, and changing his name to Benji-Wenji...
Emma Jones, The Mirror, 17th April 2016When I hear the words "romantic comedy" I reach for my revolver. So it was with I Want My Wife Back, starring Ben Miller as the time-poor, emotion-rich Murray and Caroline Katz as the neglected-to-the-point-of-jacking-it-in wife Bex. It could easily have been gruesomely saccharine with canned laughter (unfathomably back in fashion) dubbed over to make up for lame dialogue and weak acting. But it really isn't as bad as that. Indeed it has a pleasingly unpredictable quality about the action that belies the promise of the series title.
Tellingly, I found myself ending the first episode with some faint interest in what happens next to the two protagonists. I know that's not such a ringing endorsement, but like Murray and Bex's marriage, the show shouldn't be written off just yet. Smell my cheese.
