Carnage, review

Simon Amstell's first feature-length film is not only hilarious, but puts a highly convincing case forward for veganism without once being preachy.

10 top tens for Hot Fuzz's tenth

This year, after watching Hot Fuzz for the tenth time, and still picking up little details I'd never noticed before, I went down to the pub for a glass of celebratory cranberry juice. I thought Anglonerd magazine, too, should celebrate the brilliance of this film in a big way, so here is not just a top ten list, but ten top ten lists, highlighting the best one hundred things about Edgar Wright's comedy action flick. *Spoilers*

The Office - where are they now?

What has happened to the actors who helped to make The Office? We never did hear much from that man Gervais again...

Rated or dated: The Office

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's sitcom first aired this week in 2001. Gabby Hutchinson-Crouch takes a look to see if, 15 years later, it still measures up.

15 ways The Office changed modern comedy (Link expired)

Its influence on modern comedy has been monumental. So to celebrate the show's big 15th birthday, here are 15 ways The Office changed modern comedy forever.

Final part of Simon Day and Rhys Thomas's excellent rock spoof. There have been allusions to Bono, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and even Happy Mondays in the hapless figure of Pern in this series; tonight's has a touch of the Pink Floyds as he is railroaded into a Thotch reunion. However, reclusive founder member Bennett St John (Simon Callow) also wants in. Martin Freeman and Peter Bowles maintain the high-quality celebrity guest quota, almost a running joke in itself.

The school nativity play is always exciting/nerve-jangling, but in writer-director Debbie Isitt's lively, likeable comedy, expectations are ratcheted up a few notches when it seems a Hollywood producer will be coming. Martin Freeman, pre-Hollywood stardom, is the teacher struggling to cope with rising hysteria as the kids head for a terrific cathedral performance.

Toast Of London Series 3, Episode 6 preview

Matt Berry's Steven Toast manages to annoy Jude Law, Martin Freeman and other top actors in the final episode of Series 3.

Radio Times review

It's business as usual for the final episode, which is to say moments of brilliance and stretches that go a bit tepid. But that's the deal with Toast: you put up with the iffy bits for the occasional dash of comic glory you wouldn't find anywhere else.

Our luckless curmudgeon gets a job at the Globe in a production of Twelfth Night by radical director Daz Klondyke. It's to be performed by a cast of dogs as "a metaphor for what's happening in Syria". Yes, it's daft, but if you want an idea of the series' celebrity fans, look out for cameos from Jude Law, Martin Freeman, Sheila Hancock and others. They're all basically agreeing that Toast is, as Sam Mendes puts it, "a colossal t**t".
