Press clippings

A four part series by comedian Zaltzman (with a little help from Rory Bremner, Bridget Christie, Lucy Montgomery and Kim Wall) examining the first 10 years of the millennium. The title is itself a joke, punning on Radio 4's predeliction for ultralong series (e.g., This Sceptered Isle). At least, I hope it's a joke...

There are nicely worked scenes in Chris Addison's sciencey sitcom this week as an officious inspector comes to visit the lab - another great turn by Kim Wall (last seen in Five's sitcom Angelo's). As luck would have it, he calls on the day Cara has accidentally defrosted the wealthy benefactor who was being kept cryogenically frozen in the lab, despite not being dead. It's more complicated than that but the details hardly matter; it's all about well-observed comedy moments, for instance when Alex (Addison) distracts the inspector by nudging the pictures on the wall crooked, knowing his adversary will feel compelled to put them right. I'm not convinced the characters or tone have quite gelled yet, but there are sparkles of something good.
