Jack Seale, Radio Times, 24th December 2016Bruce Dessau's top TV comedy for 2016
It's been a bad year in all sorts of ways, but not in terms of TV comedy. I sat down today to come up with a top ten of the year and had difficulty narrowing it down to ten. Of course there were disappointments and programmes that didn't quite live up to expectations, such as Sky's Andrew Lawrence documentary, but there was still plenty to laugh at here. And if you are quick some of them are still available on various catch-up services. And in case you are wondering, I decided not to include Black Mirror - it was brilliant but just too painfully real to be funny.

Stewart Lee, Chortle, 11th October 2016Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehice, series 1-4 review
Across four seasons of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, we're given a window into the pure, unplanned, and unrefined machinations of comedy. Editing each season into six 30-minute episodes ensures the series is televisable, but, in doing so, doesn't divest us of a crucial layer of entertainment: the comedian vs. the audience contest.
