Fantasy credentials don't come much better than those of this Amazon series, which has been adapted by Neil Gaiman from the novel he co-wrote with the late Terry Pratchett. It stars David Tennant as a raffish demon who has formed an unlikely 6,000-year friendship with Michael Sheen's buttoned-down angel. When a looming apocalypse threatens their bromance, the pair team up to save the world. Psychedelic visuals, epic set-pieces and some wild hairpieces sported by Tennant suggest this could be a blast.

It's a match made in heaven -- or is that hell?

Aisling Bea is dating Michael Sheen

Michael Sheen is dating Irish comedian Aisling Bea -- who is the spitting image of his exes Sarah Silverman and Kate Beckinsale.

On BBC2 they were celebrating a very British icon as Bafta presented a look back over Stephen Fry's multi-faceted career. This sort of thing tends to get a bit smug and certainly there was little fresh ground covered as the likes of Hugh Laurie, Michael Sheen and the producer John Lloyd paid tribute.

Yet Fry, like Beckham, is oddly appealing and this tribute worked best when he spoke for himself, talking illuminatingly about his early life - "I was incredibly disruptive and a bad influence on others" - honestly about his breakdown post-Cell Mates and movingly about his experience making the 1997 Oscar Wilde biopic, Wilde.

In recent years Fry has been so swept up in hosting quiz shows and award shows and chattering on Twitter that it's easy to forget that he is also an actor of great charm and skill. This film went some way to reminding viewers of that. Despite the backslapping, job done.

"You can't live your life without Stephen Fry," we're told, but I'd disagree. Nonetheless, those who find Stephen Fry pompous these days might actually like this documentary as it reminds you of the days when he appeared in brilliant comedies like Blackadder and The Young Ones. He wasn't always a luvvie BAFTA host or a dabbling TV presenter. This tribute takes us back to his great days, but also tells his difficult personal story, which is far more interesting than anything he's done on screen.

The story starts in Hampstead in 1957, but his family soon moved to Norfolk and he says it was "agony to be so remote" as the cool London kids were going to cinemas and milk bars and he was stuck in flat old Yokeltown.

There followed some youthful brushes with the law but education brought him back into civilisation, and it was at Cambridge in the 1970s where he met his first comedy partner, Hugh Laurie.

There is lots of luvvie emotion and glowing contributions from Laurie, Michael Sheen, Alan Davies and John Lloyd but Fry's discussions about his battles with bipolar disorder offset all of that frilly nonsense.
