Twelfth Night review: 'Tamsin Greig is resplendent'

Twelfth Night has always been a play of abandon. Characters slip on different costumes, different gender identities, they shuck off their solemnity, they let loose.

Twelfth Night review: Tamsin Greig shines

It's hit and miss - or hit and mister (whatever suits); more a straightforward romp than a strange tragicomedy of unrequited love and mistaken identity. Doon Mackichan's Feste the clown is surprisingly low-key but then she's upstaged by the confused whirligig of larkiness around her. Recommended then? Yes, just, sure, but to my mind it's six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Watching unPC sitcoms should be part of the curriculum

The BBC's remakes of Till Death Us Do Part and Are You Being Served? are only to be appreciated through the filter of irony. But things like It Ain't Half Hot Mum weren't malicious.

James Delingpole, The Spectator, 1st September 2016

With the exception of the Siddiquis from Gogglebox, the Goodmans are arguably the funniest family on British telly right now. Each episode of Robert Popper's sitcom highlights the chemistry between Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal, Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter. This week, Uncle Saul's funeral means Martin's mum - AKA Horrible Grandma - is back in town, making Adam and Jonny's squabbling seem good-natured by comparison.

Review: Friday Night Dinner, C4

There is nothing particularly groundbreaking here. Just a lovely, well-observed, faintly farcical fast-moving storyline as one minor white lie - they claim Jackie's mother has died so that they can cancel dinner and turf Tony out - sends events spiralling out of control.

Tamsin Greig on the new series of Friday Night Dinner

"You step over the threshold of your parents' home and you're instantly transported back to your childhood," muses the 50-year-old actress. "Jackie is pushed around by her children because she has an overwhelming need to be wanted by her two sons."
