Lily Savage comes out of retirement

Drag queen Lily Savage is to return to the stage - after being "killed off" five years ago by creator Paul O'Grady.

Daily Record, 9th July 2010

A fairly average stab at a new chat show, with an impressive line up for the first episode. However, with Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton and Paul O'Grady already busy on the chat show circuit, do we really have any need for another one?

By contrast, Eyes Down (tonight, 9.30pm, BBC One), the second series of the Paul "Lily Savage" O'Grady sitcom set in a bingo hall, is like watching a sitcom that's been salvaged from a ship sunk during the war. At one point it felt like a shoal of bloated little crabs was streaming out of its eyes. I think they may have just eaten all of the funniness in the show.

There is a new series of Blankety Blank (BBC1), if you fancy that. This economical series is bomb-proof as it leans confidently on the personality of the presenter - Terry Wogan, Les Dawson and now Lily Savage. When Spike Milligan was on the Blankety Blank panel, he seemed out of place because he instinctively gave witty answers. Too late he realised that what was needed was the bleeding obvious.
