paul whitehouse
Paul Whitehouse’s latest series, Nurse, is pretty bold for a comedy. It deals with mental health issues, following community mental health nurse Liz (Esther Coles) as she goes from patient to patient. Most of them played by Whitehouse with the aid of some pretty impressive prosthetics, which only occasionally make Nurse look like the world’s worst Aviva Insurance ad.
1. Cradle to Grave, BBC2
Motormouth Danny Baker’s autobiography gets the sitcom treatment. Baker is a co-writer himself so expect lots of strange-but-true tales of growing up poor but ‘appy in sarf London.
2. Together, BBC3
Jonny Sweet, last seen in C4’s cop satire Babylon, stars in this self-penned adaptation of his cult Radio 4 series in which a new romantic relationship is explored and dissected from all angles.
Will Ferrell, Steve Coogan and Paul Whitehouse will be special recipients of the award for International Achievement, Outstanding Achievement and The Writer’s Guild of Great Britain Award respectively at Thursday night's British Comedy Awards.
I was really glad that the BBC2 series Bellamy's People did not return after one series. Not because it was awful. It was actually very good. But it meant that spoof DJ Gary Bellamy could return to Radio 4 with his "flagship phone-in show" Down The Line, which is even better. It currently goes out at 6.30pm on Wednesdays and I solemnly urge you to tune in.
