Welcome to another instalment of Matt on the Box where we're going to travel back to the Bank Holiday weekend to see what the two major channels had to offer us. I definitely believe that ITV had the stronger weekend thanks in part to the final episode of the...
In our latest podcast we discuss the unwelcome return of Derek, ITV's Tommy Cooper biopic and new Sky Living comedy Trying Again.
Never have I been so confused by how I feel about a TV comedy. Normally I have quite firm views one way or another but Ricky Gervais' Derek leaves me utterly baffled. Even Channel 4 seem unsure how to approach the series referring to it as a "bittersweet comedy". The...

I think it's fair to say that Ricky Gervais has spent the last few days on Twitter almost convincing people they'd enjoy his new project despite it not being a straight forward laugh out loud comedy. Those of us who looked past the controversy of the pilot episode...
This week we discuss My Fat Diary, Utopia, Derek and the lack of interesting output on ITV
After a pilot last year Ricky Gervais returns as Derek on Wednesday. The warm comedy set in a care home was unfairly criticised and hugely misunderstood and that's before the pilot had even shown! In this Channel 4 interview Gervais explains more about...
Comedies are more difficult than ever to get right. BBC1 controller Danny Cohen is desperate for the next big studio based sitcom. The BBC's long lasting sitcom My Family was recently axed (lasted far too long for my liking) and the BBC's...
Thursday sees the return of Sharon Horgan to BBC3. Fans of laugh out loud comedies will remember Horgan's last BBC3 comedy, Pulling with great fondness and now Horgan is back with a brand new six-part comedy co-written with stand-up Holly Walsh, entitled 'Dead...
