TV review: A Year In The Life Of A Year 2019
Now that Charlie Brooker can't be arsed to make a yearly Wipe, and Cunk & Other Humans on 2019 was so painfully disappointing, it's frustrating that this was so uneven.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 2nd January 2020The one-time Fast Show star Rhys Thomas returns with a gently comical take on the key events of 2019. Don't expect scathing satire; instead, Thomas's modus operandi is cleverly tweaking and re-editing real-life footage and adding his own mischievous scripts on top.
