Bobby Davro on changing tastes in comedy

Comedian Bobby Davro joined Andrew Neil, Caroline Flint and Michael Portillo on This Week to talk about changing tastes after the remake of classic series Dad's Army was released.

He said the nature of comedy had changed since the shows that made him famous - but was frustrated that he was "still keen, still ambitious, still contemporary, but unfortunately they put you in a box and say you belong in the 1980s".

Ivy Suttie: The Actual One - The Lowry, Salford review

The Actual One. A show about that horrendous moment in your late 20s when you look around and realise that your friends have shunned nights out for nights in, the pub for pregnancies and perhaps worst of all, the dawning reality that there is now a whole generation of people that haven't even heard of a Tamigotchi.
