It's A Funny Old Week review

ITV's latest venture into topical comedy is less a UK version of The Daily Show and more a programme for those who find Russell Howard's Good News too edgy.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 16th June 2015

Jason Manford adapts his Funny Old Year retrospectives for a weekly slot. With topical comedy, it seems the temptation to crack gags that Twitter tired of days ago is hard to shake. While Weekly Wipe prefers trepanning news coverage and seeing what trickles out, and Last Week Tonight explores unheralded topics in depth, many merely crank out weary old Cameron posh/Miliband weird tropes with abandon. It's unlikely Manford will become Britain's Jon Stewart, but here's hoping for more than hackneyed Week Mocking at least.
