Best New TV Sitcom 2016: Winner - Upstart Crow
It’s the ultimate mash-up nobody could have predicted. Donald Trump has collided with Bridget Jones in the parody Twtter account Bridget Trump’s Diary.
The account was created earlier this month by comedian Tiffany Stevenson, who simply imagined what the tweets of the fictional character played by Renee Zellweger would look like if they were written by the 45th President of America.
Set to broadcast in 2018 on Amazon Prime Video and the BBC, Good Omens is written by Gaiman, who will also serve as Showrunner.
The new version of prison sitcom Porridge, starring Kevin Bishop, starts filming in February.
Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein take some pretty good swipes at the state of the nation in the third episode of their latest series. The sketch that is likely to ruffle the most feathers is the one on Forced Marriages, subtitled “Seriously, Don’t Tell The Bride”, in which all the arrangements are done for the happy day without the bride being present. Brother Mehat is looking forward to the big day, with one reservation: “I do wish my dad hadn’t threatened to have her hanged if she said no.”
There is lots going on in the third episode of the final series of Uncle. Things seem to be looking up for the music career of Andy (Nick Helm). After producing a recording session for newcomer Jasmine (Emily Bevan), he finds himself embarking on a drug-fuelled bender with her, only to wake up in the morning and discover that they are engaged.
Watch a clip of Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson from the episode of the planned Sky Arts comedy series Urban Myths which has now been pulled. The proposed programme was dropped following complaints from Jackson's daughter Paris, who called it "shameful".
It’s good to have Chewing Gum back. It’s very different to any other series I’ve seen recently, while at the same time it has echoes of the BBC hit Fleabag, which it preceded. If that programme was all Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s idea about contemporary attitudes to sex, then Chewing Gum is very much Michaela Coel’s view of modern romance.
