The Windsors review

In contrast to Frankie Boyle's no-punches-pulled Farewell To The Monarchy, which followed on Channel 4 last night, The Windsors Coronation Special offers a comparatively affectionate mockery of the characters within the Royal Family.

TV review: The Witchfinder, BBC Two

I've been looking forward to The Witchfinder ever since it was announced. As comedies go you can't get a better pedigree. It is written by Neil and Rob Gibbons, the brothers who write Alan Partridge, and stars Tim Key - Sidekick Simon from Partridge and a million other shows - and Daisy May Cooper from This Country. And I doff my cap to everyone, it's ruddy brilliant.
