Love, Nina + Mum + Rovers

Some new comedy from the UK

Love, Nina is a comedy-drama set in 1982 with Faye Marsay, Helena Bonham Carter and Jason Watkins.

Mum is a sitcom starring Lesley Manville and has already been cleared for a second series.

Rovers is a sitcom about a local football team's fans clubhouse activity. Directed by Craig Cash, it's almost Early Doors but set in a clubhouse lounge and Cash and Sue Johnston are basically Dave and Barbara from Royle Family. I'm not knocking this show, but it would be interesting to see if Cash is capable of playing the role of someone with an IQ of at least 50.

None of these are laugh track type comedy.

Going Forward + Peter Kay's Comedy Shuffle + The Windsors + Upstart Crow

New comedy from the UK.

Catch up with nurse Kim Wilde from Getting On

Selected highlights (and some outtakes) from Peter Kay's various projects. I noticed they edited out the Jimmy Saville and Sally Lindsay (?) scene out of the Amarillo video. I wonder why?

Parody......or likely reality? You be the judge.

David Mitchell as William Shakespeare

The Windsors and Upstart Crow both feature a great cast and both have already been approved for second series.
