Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st September 2019Sean Hughes's greatest TV moments
The Irish comedian was best known for deconstructing the sitcom with Sean's Show. But he should also be remembered for his stint as an unqualified medic - and for bringing us Finbar the Mighty Shark.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 16th October 2017Like most Channel X productions, Sean's Show is a hangover from the Eighties, in this case a watered-down version of the brilliantly original It's Garry Shandling's Show. Shandling has since moved forward into the Nineties with the equally innovative Larry Sanders Show, but its imitators remain, like hermit crabs taking up residence in discarded shells that they could never construct themselves. It's easy to imitate a format. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to make that imitation work.
