"Dad, Mum wants you - Rosie's hidden another poo." David Tennant and Jessica Hynes are the loving if beleaguered parents of a nine-year-old with severe learning disabilities, in this new series. It is drawn from the real-life experiences of its creator Shaun Pye, whose daughter was born in 2006 with a rare, undiagnosed chromosomal disorder. Although this is billed as a comedy-drama, the laughs are, like the aforementioned poo, rather deftly concealed amid the tough, very affecting subject matter and performances.

There She Goes, episode one review

The series doesn't slot easily into any given category, such as comedy, biopic, tragicomedy or drama, but that tends to make it the more intriguing and rewarding as a result.

Hang Ups episode 1 review

Stephen Mangan's semi-improvised Channel 4 comedy Hang Ups is a circus of silliness and human pain...

Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 9th August 2018

Hang Ups review

Mangan stars in a remake of Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy and manages the rarest of TV feats: a UK adaptation that's every bit as good as the US original.

8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown review

A champagne-fuelled joy.

TV: 8 Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown All-Female Edition

Never mind coming a long way since women got the vote, we've come a long way since a few years ago when women were seen as token females on quiz shows and TV decided that a woman should be on every panel.
