Whilst I relatively enjoyed JONATHAN CREEK, David Renwick's writing on the show was really fucking terrible. Being an established BBC schmoozer who knew (a) what he could get away with (with his mates who commissioned the series) and (b) what would appeal to the just-above-the-level-of-soap audiences. The thoroughly forced nature of everything and the use of 'comedy' to excuse appalling situations really grated, right from the start. A complete wince session all the way. But it STILL managed to be better than 90% of everything else the BBC waste public money on.

And it had some very good moments. Just moments, unfortunately, rather than hours, considering some of the episodes were two hours (too) long. Usually nothing to do with the alleged plots of these shows, just deft asides. Like the two above.

It was never capable of holding a candle to his ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, which was masterful from beginning to end. Written for comedy and pathos, over half-hour segments (generally), not schlock and vaudeville, over-cooked.

It is that time of year when comedians are preparing their shows for the Edinburgh Fringe in August and are looking for free venues in which to perform previews. One such is the performance area at the back of comedy critic Kate Copstick’s charity shop Mama Biashara in Shepherd’s Bush, London.
