David Brent: Life On The Road, review
The film sees Gervais on sparkling form as his most famous comic character, picking up just where we left him; despised by most of his fellow workers and still pursuing his Walter Mitty dream of 'Brentertainment'.

In terms of comedy it is in decent working order.

Nick Hasted, The Arts Desk, 10th August 20165 questionable moments from Taskmaster series 2
Oh boy, Taskmaster's second series was a ride to say the least, and an enjoyable one at that! Looking back, here's our five most questionable moments from the show.
Callum Moorin, The Angry Microwave, 2nd August 2016In the last in the series of Taskmaster, Greg Davies's taskees have all to play for, with an overall series winner set to be crowned out of contestants Doc Brown, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan, Joe Wilkinson and Richard Osman. Among this week's tasks are transporting a range of groceries over a small river and into a shopping trolley, and making a stop-motion film starring a potato. To the victor, the spoils, which includes a golden bust of Davies's head.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 19th July 2016Taskmaster: series two, episode 5 review
The final episode in this series witnesses the Taskmaster trophy finally presented, and a horror film starring, yes, a potato.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 19th July 2016The penultimate episode in this daft challenge series finds our intrepid taskees charged by Greg Davies with rescuing a cat from a tree and smuggling an entire pineapple upon their person. Prizes on offer this week include a range of our comics' most-treasured "blue" items, including Doc Brown's copy of Feel No Fret by the Average White Band, a blue riot helmet from Richard Osman and a mucky fridge magnet from Jon Richardson. It's all to play for, then.
