What were they thinking of with Warren? Poor Martin Clunes: after so much redemptively good work - Vanity Fair, Manhunt, even Doc Martin's a lovely rounded well-acted part - he has apparently chosen to star in a "comedy" that could have been written in 1974. About a grumpy driving instructor. And that's it, folks. No jokes, no clever lines, no acknowledgments that there's nothing inherently laugh-out-loud in just saying "garden centre" or "driving instructor", or indeed that time and tastes move on and all that's left is a talented actor staring at the camera with what's meant to be sardonic pith but might actually be howling existential angst.
