Providing assistance are a host of varyingly beloved celebs including Michael Palin, Rio Ferdinand and Lily Allen.

Andrew Dipper, Giggle Beats, 14th December 2014Sarah Millican interview
Sarah Millican is one of the most recognisable voices in British comedy - which isn't bad considering it's only ten years since she tried her hand at stand-up in a Newcastle pub. Since then, she's made three series of The Sarah Millican Television Programme for BBC Two, become a regular on pretty much all of the panel shows and sold out huge rooms across the world. Her latest tour show Home Bird, now out on DVD, finds her seeking a gentler pace and plenty of cosy time in front of the fire. With cats.

Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 27th November 2014Sarah Millican - Home Bird Live: DVD review
As always, she comes across as a heightened, chummy Everywoman, and while not banging the drum of feminism quite so blatantly as some of her contemporaries, uses that liveability to smuggle in some astute points about pernicious women's magazines and Kate Moss's assertion that 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. For any woman - or any man - who knows that's bullshit, Millican's the comic for you.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th November 2014DVD review: Sarah Millican - Home Bird Live
Some live DVDs look suspiciously like the cut-aways to the crowd laughing have been bought as a job lot or found in a skip. Not here. I don't usually comment on the editing in live DVDs but the shots of the Newcastle audience in stitches really show just how funny Millican is and how well she touches a nerve with her fans. Definitely one for your mam this Christmas, whether she gets claggy or not.
