TV review: The Cockfields, episode two, Gold

There were no major dramas in the first instalment of this three-part comedy and there are none in the gloriously mundane second part either. Unless you count a minor altercation with a neighbour (Dan Renton Skinner) about a hedge.

Hal Cruttenden, Lost Voice Guy, Angelos Epithemiou

What do you get when you mix a Britain's Got Talent winner, a misfit, and an apparent Mr Tumble look-a-like? Well, that would be a pretty good night of comedy.

Review: Prevenge on DVD & Blu-Ray

Alice Lowe's smash hit film Prevenge is released on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK on 5th June, which gave TVO an ample excuse to revisit a film we'd previously called "a startling debut from an incredibly talented individual".

Angelos & Barry interview

An unlikely twosome takes to the road promising to tackle important themes such as adequate sleeping arrangements and pet elephants.

Review: Angelos & Barry

They are both marginalised characters on the edge of society - either from bored self-destruction, or simply by being old and forgotten. So when Angelos Epithemiou and 82-year-old Barry From Watford team up for a podcast a couple of years back, it made perfect sense.
