Review: Please Help, BBC Three/iPlayer

This is one of those comedies that can be read on at least two levels. It's daft fun, certainly, but it also seems to be making a serious comment about the pressure put on the mental health of individuals by the inadequacy of the NHS care system, which can place a heavy burden on family members.

Please Help review

The BBC really ought to pounce on this imaginative, hilarious premise and sign Pearman up for a series immediately.
