Radio review: No Angel
Part of Radio 2's Comedy Showcase season, No Angel focused on laughs rather than plausible plot.
Elisabeth Mahoney, The Guardian, 20th December 2010Come Fly With Me: fasten your seatbelts...
Matt Lucas and David Walliams's follow-up to 'Little Britain' is an airport mockumentary that takes their brazenly un-PC humour to startling new levels. Can such contentious comedy still fly in the 21st century? Dominic Cavendish predicts a bumpy ride.
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 20th December 2010Nick Park's Desert Island Discs: Cracking tunes, Gromit

Celine Bijleveld, The Guardian, 20th December 2010Miranda wishes you a Merry Christmas
Haaaaappppyyyy Chhrriiissstmassss! I LOVE Christmas. Can't get enough of mulled wine, a roaring fire, fairy lights, mince pies, even ice skating. I'm quite good - I can even go backwards. Oh yes, you heard it here first.

Andrew Williams, Metro, 20th December 2010Misfits series 2 episode 7 review
If you're wondering how a genre show can successfully straddle both the cult and mainstream, then this is it. Smart, snappy, confident and tightly written, Misfits is the show that comic fans never knew they wanted. And for my money, the best thing (bar Doctor Who) to have happened to TV all year.
Jake Laverde, Den Of Geek, 20th December 2010Peep Show series 7 episode 4 review
Too many jokes here followed a similar pattern and, in the end, the gamble with the format simply didn't pay off.
Mark Oakley, Den Of Geek, 20th December 2010Misfits 2.7 review
A fine end to what's been a great second year, even if half its episodes were comparatively weak because that mid-series "trilogy" was extraordinarily good.
