Ten Percent review

I've been dreading the remake of Netflix's Call My Agent! (AKA Dix Pour Cent), the cult French comedy-drama about celebrity mores. Why bother: how could it be as funny, twisted and delicious? However, Ten Percent (Amazon Prime) is a beautifully crafted hoot.

Ten Percent review

The big question over the British remake of Call My Agent is why? The result is a jaunty comedy-drama about showbusiness agents, not quite as good nor as stylish as the French original.

TV: Bucket, Episode Two, BBC4 review

The story ebbs and flows but with Mim suffering from a terminal illness - hence the Aldi budget bucket list journey, no swimming with dolphins off the Great Barrier Reef just yet - one can assume that this is building to a climax in the fourth and final episode. Presumably Mim will die a moving death in her daughter's arms or something and we will all sob a bit - unless there are plans for a second series.
