It might be under half an hour long, but this nimbly witty film is both a fitting tribute and charming biopic of one of Britain's best-loved comics.

British Comedy Guide, 13th February 2020'The Full Monty' turns 20 this year
Recently, someone told me that when you start trying to remember any kind of anniversary of a favourite movie, the standard rule is you come up with a number as to how long ago you think it premiered and then add five years to the total and, generally, you will be correct at that point. Such is the case with a favourite of mine, The Full Monty, which turns 20! in August of this year.

British Comedy Guide, 11th April 2016Radio Times review
Is there any life left in Trollied? After all, when loads of original cast members leave a show, it usually ends up being the kiss of death. Look what happened to ER, New Tricks and - of course - the greatest ensemble drama of all time: Monarch of the Glen.
But despite the fact that the likes of Jane Horrocks and Mark Addy are now long gone, there's still some fun to be had in this series opener, mainly thanks to the introduction of Sarah Parish as the owner of a budget supermarket called Lauda (hmmm, wonder what the inspiration for that could be?), which looks set to be a rival for the mighty Valco.
