Press clippings

The funniest new show of the week, possibly the year, was BBC3's prison-based comedy Dead Boss starring Sharon Horgan.

It's easily the most amusing thing I've seen behind bars since Jeffrey Archer. It has a sharp script, a great cast and some beautifully worked set pieces. Plus, for those who care about the finer details, Emma Pierson from Hotel Babylon guest stars in it wearing one of those dresses she likes to wear.

Jeffrey Archer: An unlikely cartoon hero

Jeffrey Archer, who has been the subject of plenty of political send-ups himself, tells Charlotte Cripps why he wants to give his collection to the nation.

Pick of the day: I have never been to a football match or read a Jeffrey Archer novel. My daughter hasn't been clubbing or eaten a steak and kidney pie. If only we were famous - then we could make a few quid appearing on Marcus Brigstocke's new series, in which celebrities try 'quite ordinary things' for the very first time. In the meantime you'll have to make do with Phill Jupitus encountering his first Findus Crispy Pancake and delivering the less than ringing endorsement: Red Leicester? My fat arse! You can also find out what he makes of colonic irrigation in I've Never Seen Star Wars.
