Radio Times, 21st April 2014Opinion: The riase of non-alcoholic comedy venues
It's a difficult balance, of course. Audiences who have had a bit to drink are undoubtedly more relaxed and up for a laugh. But for some their concentration spans can dip dangerously low after a tipple and any routine longer than a Tim Vine one-liner may be too much to take in. And, of course, alcohol gives some the Dutch courage to heckle badly. And, even worse, not know when to shut up.

British Comedy Guide, 5th March 2014Radio Times review
The first series of these adaptations of PG Wodehouse stories came in for a good kicking from some quarters, which seemed out of proportion considering they were enjoyable bits of candy floss and hardly Broadchurch. But viewers liked them, so here's a second helping, with Timothy Spall once again starring as pin-brained, pig-obsessed toff Lord Emsworth and Jennifer Saunders as his battleaxe of a sister, Connie.
Tim Vine, much missed after his departure from Not Going Out, takes over from Mark Williams as Beach, the clever butler. Harry Enfield guests in the first episode as the claret-nosed Duke of Dunstable, an appalling old buffer with an inexplicable antipathy towards whistling Scotsmen.
