Still funny but slightly off the boil judging by this series four opener, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's comedy is starting to cram in just a little too much catastrophe: Rob has a car crash that somehow leads to him attracting a spooky stalker (the evergreen Julie Hesmondhalgh) and Sharon gets caught shoplifting.

Catastrophe - series 4, episode 1 review

Catastrophe was back to take the rom out of romcom and twist it into strange shapes, before putting it back again at a skew-whiff angle.

Catastrophe, season four review

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's comedy is spiky, beautifully confident, nimble, quick and exceedingly funny - but it's right that this is the last series.

TV preview: Catastrophe, C4

This is the third sitcom I've reviewed in two days and with the greatest respect to BBC Three's Cuckoo and BBC Two's Semi-Detached, which are both extremely watchable, Catastrophe is by far the best of the trio.

Catastrophe preview

Car crash TV that's still putting the fun into dysfunctional marriage. The Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney-penned romcom remains rooted in the reality of parental responsibilities, financial insecurity and body fluids.

The charming Delaney takes a break from negotiating parental horrors on Catastrophe to return to the realm of standup, replacing Chris Ramsey as the compere of this comedy showcase. He has some solid guests this week: the razor-sharp Sara Pascoe and the morose moptop Tom Ward.

Comedy Central Live review

Comedy Central might have had trouble attracting punters to its first live festival - surely not helped by the fact it would have initially cost £90 to see a day's stand-up, a price subsequently slashed to £20, or a tenner if you went on Groupon - but they had no such problem attracting the top-notch acts.

Rob Delaney blogs about the death of his son

I'm aware this ends somewhat abruptly. The above was part of a book proposal I put together before Henry's tumor came back and we learned that he would die.
