Eaten by Lions review
A great cast including Johnny Vegas and Asim Chaudhry bring a good dose of fun to the new British comedy Eaten By Lions, which premieres at the Edinburgh International Film Festival today. But director Jason Wingard can be clunky in his handling emotional moments - which lean towards over-sentimentalised cliché - and occasionally the comic ones, too.

The best comedy of 2017 is back - bigger and better than ever.
James Croot, Stuff.co.nz, 15th May 2018Preview: High & Dry
New comedy series High & Dry begins Friday 4th May on Channel 4. Here are Sophie's thoughts on the opening episode...
Sophie Davies, The Velvet Onion, 4th May 2018TV review: High & Dry, C4
Channel 4 is presumably pretty pleased with new sitcom High & Dry. It was originally due to air on E4 but has had an upgrade and now goes out on C4. Is their confidence justified? It is probably down to how much you can bear obnoxious characters.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 4th May 2018High & Dry review
If you were to think of the worst person to be stuck on a desert island with, Marc Wootton's latest grotesque would be hart to beat.

Stephen Armstrong, Radio Times, 4th May 2018The daft panel show returns for a sixth series, with Greg Davies and Alex Horne doling out challenges both inane and insane. Alice Levine, Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard, Tim Vine and Asim "Chabuddy G" Chaudhry are their victims, taking on lemons, wheelbarrows and orienteering in this opening episode.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 2nd May 2018TV review: Taskmaster, Series 6, Dave
This programme is getting so popular it can only be a matter of time before Taskmaster becomes an Olympic sport.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th April 2018The entertainingly daft gameshow returns for a sixth series. The USP is bewildering and pointless tasks - towers of lemons, wheelbarrow stunts etc - attempted by game, silly comics including Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard and Asim Chaudhry.
The Guardian, 27th April 2018Marc Wootton's new sitcom boasts an intriguing premise: imagine if someone almost unbearably infuriating saved your life? And then you were stuck with them thereafter? Wootton is flight attendant, air-crash hero and monumental pain in the arse Brett. Among the survivors in his debt are Asim "Chabuddy G" Chaudhry.
