Spike review

The post-show Q&A with Nick Newman and Ian Hislop proved more enlightening, and often funnier.

Spike at Richmond Theatre, review

If the writing hereabouts is top notch then the acting is superb.

Theatre reviews: Spike

The script for Ian Hislop and Nick Newman's affectionate tribute to Spike Milligan never quite soars, but Spike is still a meticulous recreation of one of the most influential comedy shows ever, writes Susan Mansfield.

Spike - King's Theatre, Glasgow review

Spike is Spike Milligan, and this play gives us a glimpse into the man's life through his creation and run of The Goon Show, a now often forgotten (and now often politically incorrect) 1950s radio comedy show which mostly lives on today, as the announcer concludes the show pointing out, through the people it has influenced.

Spike - Darlington Hippodrome review

Spike is tonally unsteady, haphazard and inconsistent. And although both Milligan and The Goon Show could also be described in this way, one can't help but feel that they both deserve something better than this.

Spike review

Aficionados of The Goon Show clearly enjoyed the play hugely, noisily showing their appreciation at the curtain calls, but I wonder if it will introduce Spike to a new, younger audience. If it doesn't, it is a shame, as he was a huge talent, very influential on all forms of comedy.

Gavin & Stacey: Bringing a crackin' Christmas to Barry

Oh! What's occurring? Christmas on Barry Island, that's what. Ten years since we left the fab four - Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy - on the Welsh seafront, they're back with a festive special that will have you cackling over your Christmas pudding and blubbing into your Babycham. Probably at the same time.
