Entertainment Focus, 30th March 2018Inside No. 9, Series 4 review
Inside No. 9 is, and shall remain, a dear favourite of mine. Everyone you speak to will have a different favourite episode (though the name Migg often crops up in my house when discussing standout storylines).

Beyond The Joke, 30th March 2018Garry Shandling and Ricky Gervais's epic sparring match
Ricky Gervais Meets Garry Shandling is at different points funny, painful, and cringe-inducing in a way that mirrors the comedy that Larry Sanders and The Office pioneered. The only difference is, once the credits roll on this show, everybody stays in character. Some might say the lesson to take from the experience is "never meet your heroes," but a better one might be "live in the moment and embrace the unknowable."
