Other than the editor and owners of The Daily Telegraph, the only folk actively praying for the expenses ballyhoo to continue are Dara O'Briain, Russell Howard, Frankie Boyle, Hugh Dennis and that bloke who looks like Matt Lucas' character out of Krod Mandoon (Andy Parsons). Let's hope they make the most of it as guests Frank Skinner and Gina Yashere join the teams.
What's On TV, 9th July 2009Call me crazy ... but isn't the best children's TV being made now?
I loved Harry Hill's Shark Infested Custard and Gina Yashere's Gina's Laughing Gear. I set my Sky+ for David Schneider (The Day Today) as Uncle Max, or Marcus Brigstocke as King Stupid, which was simply Blackadder with added gunge. The fact is that some of the sharpest writers in Britain had a turn penning CITV's My Parents Are Aliens, and I don't know a child under five who isn't beguiled by Charlie and Lola. Kids TV today, when made properly, can be wonderful.
