  • Lea Drinda in Where’s Wanda?

    TV review
    Where’s Wanda? review – this knotty crime thriller has all the dark humour of Bad Sisters

    Farce-heavy humour and dark crime caper fuse in this German series’ chronicle of a couple’s desperate search for their 17-year-old daughter. It’s thrilling, poignant and funny – if not revolutionary

  • His own worst enemy … Phillip Schofield in Cast Away.

    TV review
    Cast Away review – Phillip Schofield is an incredibly bitter man (but he sure knows how to entertain)

    He licks his wounds. He mocks Holly Willoughby. And he seems to view himself as a folk hero. But when the disgraced presenter actually gets down to the business of survival, it makes for tremendous TV
  • Munya Chawawa in How to Survive a Dictator: North Korea.

    TV review
    How to Survive a Dictator: North Korea review – can ‘28 years in hell’ really be a laughing matter?

    Munya Chawawa pits his trademark raps and skits against interviews with a man denounced as ‘human scum’ – and a defector who ended up in a detention centre for decades. What emerges, against the odds, is witty and very well done
