Unprecedentedly odd: The Entire Universe reviewed

As you've probably noticed, TV critics spend a lot of their time trying to identify which other programmes the one they're reviewing most resembles. Sadly, in the case of BBC2's The Entire Universe, this noble quest proved futile.

Along with wife Polly (Sarah Alexander), he inevitably digs up much more than he bargained for. Warwick Davis provides enthusiastic comic support as an illusion-loving vicar, while Creek's much-missed duffle coat makes a cameo.
