Becoming Fleabag: Phoebe Waller-Bridge on stage

As her hit TV series and off-Broadway solo show come to an end, take a look back at Phoebe Waller-Bridge's start in theatre, opposite Fleabag co-stars including Andrew Scott, Hugh Skinner and Olivia Colman.

Either you spent the run-up to the royal wedding pulsating with excitement, or, like me, trying to choke yourself with a commemorative tea towel to avoid having to watch any more coverage. In this sour, curmudgeonly spirit, I was grateful for playful, dissenting voices, and The Windsors duly obliged with their hour-long Royal Wedding Special, which included Harry (p]Richard Goulding]) letting down "top bird" Meghan (Kathryn Drysdale) by embarking on a stag night that resulted in him dressing up in an SS uniform (ahem, again), and Kate (Louise Ford) insisting that William (Hugh Skinner/p) get a vasectomy.

The Windsors wedding special preview

I am on set at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire, which is being used as a stand-in for a number of regal residences. The crew are filming the wedding reception in the banqueting hall. The tables are buckling under the weight of gigantic chickens. There are enough bottles of champagne to satisfy Harry's thirstiest pals, while from the walls, stern, ermine-clad aristocrats look on disapprovingly.

Will Humphries is the best character in W1A

Hugh Skinner's bumbling mess of an intern will be sorely missed when the BBC comedy ends this Monday.

W1A review - the Way Ahead is behind and it's brilliant

The returning mockumentary send-up of the BBC is very funny at times, if a bit smug. Perhaps it should sharpen its daggers and look at Auntie's pay gap...

W1A: Why this final series might be the best yet.

I'm just a little upset that this is the final series as, from what I've seen, W1A is arguably the BBC funniest comedy that's currently on screen and I'm just wondering if the reason its leaving the screens is because of Morton's ability to spoof the company that's actually in charge of recommissioning his brilliant sitcom.

W1A series three preview

There are moments in W1A that are almost too agonising to watch. The circuitous meetings of the BBC's directionless yet ironically named Way Ahead group so accurately replicate the prevarications of real corporate life that you can feel the knuckle-gnawing frustration from your own sofa.

Like the BBC W1A series 3 is easier to admire than love

"How about a BBC News forecast app? Like the weather forecast but with emojis. Each day, it'll be, like, Italy: smiley face. Syria: droopy mouth. Russia: angry face." Unfold your Brompton bike because W1A (BBC Two) was back for a third series of self-reflexive BBC satire and management gobbledegook.

Preview - The Windsors

The comedy spoofing the lives of the Royal Family in the style of an American soap opera returns for a second series.

How long before The Windsors wears thin?

My only qualm is this: I'm not sure the premise is sustainable for an entire series. There's only so many times you can make jokes about Wills being dim, Kate being descended from gypsies, and Harry watching The Crown to educate himself about his ancestors. Sooner or later, I suspect, the gags will wear as thin as the hair on poor Wills' head.
