The Armstrong & Miller Show

Accident-prone art historian Dennis Lincoln-Park is in trouble again. Tonight, he introduces us to an "absolutely priceless" pen-and-ink drawing by Rembrandt. We know from the word go it's doomed, though it's still childishly funny when the inevitable happens. It's typical of Ben Miller that even when the scripts aren't classics, he lifts the material by his sheer comic energy. That's the case with his embittered solo honeymooner who tells anyone who'll listen about how his bride ran off with the DJ. Similarly, his car showroom customer who insists on acting out what might happen in the vehicle if he bought it ends up a surreal tour de force. Elsewhere, there are enjoyable spoofs on The Krypton Factor and the Olympic logo design, and Alexander Armstrong's RAF pilot has had a letter that makes him depressed: "Like with issues around self-esteem issues, you know?"

If Peep Show is the spirit of Channel 4, then Armstrong and Miller are BBC to the bone - harking back to the very dawn of broadcasting with their vaudeville performers, Second World War pilots and public service safety films.

But they bring them bang up to date by adding sex, swearing, violence and extremely bad wigs. One of their new characters this series is a respectable TV historian, named after an American rock band, and Dennis Lincoln-Park is back tonight to destroy another priceless artefact.

There's an enjoyable running gag about a very surprising new game show that's based on the Krypton Factor plus a welcome return for the overly truthful dad.
