Press
I am developing a distinct taste for Joking Apart. Steven Moffat's clever, and anguished black comedy about marriage failure. The pilot, which was shown last year, was a strange, unnerving piece of sitcom. But last night's follow up was exceptionally funny, and it's interesting to see the slight change of emphasis that have obviously been made. One to watch.
