Review: Jerk, BBC Three

BBC Three has come up with a pocket-sized gem in Jerk. Following a one-off pilot in 2016, this is only a four-part series but there's a surprisingly pleasing arc to it as we go from squirming at the main character Tim's behaviour to cheering him on at the end. As they say, we laugh and we learn.

A Brief History Of Tim review

A comedy centred around a guy with cerebral palsy... a bit of worthy, inclusive box-ticking from the BBC, making sure disabled people are shown in a positive light? You'd only say that if you don't know Tim Renkow.
