Early days yet for A Prince Among Men, and there are lots of interesting character ingredients. But it really must wake up to the fact that so much happening in the crossover world of comedy and football is fresh and new - Fantasy League, Danny Baker, Nick Hornby, Darren Tackle in The Guardian - developments that leave a lot of the comic style here looking a bit dated. At present, Gary Prince could be a guest on A Question of Sport, but not They Think It's All Over.

It took just half an hour to get the first real laugh when Brian, hearing a car, rushed out joyfully and was run over. If they run over one character per episode, it will be a quite jolly series but on the short side. If they run out of petrol, it will be a case of who gets Josie Lawrence, the only girl guide in the world.
