I've done it again! My latest BookTube video is all about my top three reads of 2024. There's a classic tragic play, a classic romantic novel, and a new non-fiction book that takes comedy seriously. Something for everyone (as long as you're a massive nerd).

Cunk on Earth

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Cunk on Earth (2022, UK)

Director: Christian Watt

Writers: Charlie Brooker, Jason Hazeley, Tom Baker, Ben Caudell, Eli Goldstone, Diane Morgan, Joel Morris, Michael Odewale & Sam Ward

Mini-review:

Cunk on Earth is exactly what I needed this week. Lately I've been feeling overwhelmed by work and I needed something to get my mind off things and help me relax and laugh, and that's exactly what this show did. It's just completely hilarious. The jokes come one after another and they hit way more often than they miss. It manages to throw some biting social commentary here and there in a way that felt perfect, too. And that recurring gag made laugh out loud every single time, it's genius. I spent the episodes waiting for it to come up Also, Diane Morgan is an absolute master at deadpan humor, her delivery is pitch perfect throughout the five episodes. Her Philomena Cunk becomes an iconic character from the very first episode. I would honestly to love to see more Cunk takes on other stuff in the future, so I really hope they make sequels.

Rule Of Three on acast

Comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris talk to people who make comedy about something funny that they love. Guests pick a TV show, a film, a book, an album or a comic that means something to them. Maybe we find out something about how comedy works. Maybe there's just a lot of giggling.

This is my very favourite podcast ever. It's hosted by two people whose names you've probably never heard but it turns out wrote for all your favourite things (seriously - A Touch of Cloth, those Ladybird parody books, Philomena Cunk, the Paddington movies...). Regardless of if I even know the text being discusssed, it's always a blissful hour or so of three people geeking out, giggling and analysing the workings of something they all love. It'll teach you a whole bunch about writing, whether or not comedy is your genre of choice.

TONIGHT at 2300 BST, you can listen to the second(!) episode of Agendum, which is (honestly) like if Patsy Straightwoman hosted The Daily Show. It is written by the two wonderful humans who wrote Angstrom, so you know it is funny.

Also, in this week’s episode, Simon is in it, which just makes this episode that much better. Catch it on Radio 4 and on the iPlayer shortly thereafter. 

You can also listen to the first episode, Breakthrough, right here.

I’ll be using my magic to download the entire series, so if anyone is interested in a URL, just send me a PM.
