For All Mankind (2019-present), the best American streaming show ever made.

Still from For All Mankind Series 1 Episode 3: Nixon's Women. An airfield where Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman), one of the best characters ever created for a TV show, leads a group of female trainee astronauts, Ellen Waverly (Jodi Balfour), Molly Cobb (Sonya Walger), Tracy Stevens (Sarah Jones), Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) and Patty Doyle (Cass Buggé), some of the best characters ever created for a TV show.

Limmy's Show (2010-2013), recently went back and watched all of these again and they're pure magic. One man's worldview, sensibility and influences perfectly distilled into the most divine medium: sketch comedy. All still on iPlayer, always worth revisiting!

The now infamous 'steel is heavier than feathers sketch'. Pictured L to R: Kirstin McLean, Brian 'Limmy' Limond and Alan McHugh.

Penda’s Fen (aka Panda’s Nan, Snake Boys fans) is one of my favourite films and is one of the most compelling, surprising and chilling pieces of filmed work I’ve ever seen. Tonight it airs on the Beeb for the first time since its debut in 1974. Don’t miss it!

The BBC website’s listing for Penda’s Fen, reading previous broadcast: Thu 21 Mar 1974, 21:25, BBC One. Next: Today, 22:15, BBC Four.

What a treat this was, although the talk backstage was mostly about the disconnect between the obvious enthusiasm in the crowd versus broadcasters’ total lack of interest in commissioning and supporting scripted comedy. Have a piece of the pie, you dummies! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Coyote Vs Acme (2026), the movie rescued from Zaslav’s big bin by public outcry. And deservedly so! It’s inventive, funny, has a great premise that’s explored brilliantly and is full of smart gags and clever Looney in-jokes. And Will Forte is fantastic as ever. Go see it, now that you’re allowed!

Wile E. Coyote (L) and Will Forte (R) in Coyote Vs Acme, the film they tried to obliterate.

Emmeline Downie: Gail 16:35 • Til 30th August • Pleasance Courtyard Excellent character comedy based on an incredibly well-observed type of suburban English woman. Like a female Partridge, performed seamlessly, with total conviction and a lot of empathy for the subject. Ace gags and lovely staging!

Emmeline Downie as Gail, who has an Etsy shop and uses AI to make images of women from history as if they were Disney characters, you know the sort.

Chris Cantrill: Rewilding 12:10 • Til 30th August • Monkey Barrel @ O’Neill’s After last year’s show which was joyful and stuffed full of brilliant storytelling and inspired oddball ideas and observations, this one also is, if not moreso. Yeah! @chriscantrill.bsky.social

Chris Cantrill wears a nice brown suit and looks into camera against a fetching red backdrop.

Spooky Dookie: Cool New Planet!! 19:40 • Til 31st August • Gilded Balloon @ Patter House This was a real highlight that I knew nothing about, except that it was sketches. So many wonderful unexpected twists and every time you think you know where a bit is going, it swerves violently. Magic.

L to R, Maureen Monahan and Claire McFadden, aka Spooky Dookie. They made a show that I loved.

David Hoare: How To Live To 100 17:40 • Til 31st August • Hoots @ Nicholson Sq David Hoare is an awful man and a talentless hack so I don’t know how he’s managed to craft this wonderfully silly but also genuinely life-affirming show about making the most of your time. @davidhoarelol.bsky.social

The smug villain David Hoare, looking ever-so pleased with himself between two instruments that he claims to be able to play, not that I’ve seen any evidence for it.

Freya Parker: An Hour of Decay 14:45 • Til 30th August • Underbelly Bristo Square Freya Parker (who was also a brilliant guest in my show, thank you Freya) hones her fantastically jazzy stand-up voice in this show about aging, the end of the world and a weird teacher feeding her child to an AI.

Mr Boy: The Beauty Contest For Boys (by Max Prentice) 13:20 • Til 31st August • Assembly George Square Studios Funny, winning, inventive, weird character comedy sketches disguised as a creepy beauty contest for boys. Fun and surprising all the way through, with shedloads of unexpected jokes.

Max Prentice reenacting the top half of the Vitruvian Man and wearing a sash that says Mr Boy 2026.

Hokum (2026). Really brilliantly pleasantly surprised by this. Good on Adam Scott for taking part and getting some more eyes on this clever, stylish, genuinely scary and surprising Irish horror. Fantastic local cast as well. Don’t miss it!

Cheeky little Jack Bernhardt points at the events board for the Upstairs venue at the Pleasance Courtyard, which says that Crowley Time will be appearing there on the 19th.

Safety Not Guaranteed (2012). I remember being so-so about this when I saw it at the cinema, but loved revisiting it. It manages to be a mopey 2010s indie reflect-‘em-up, a really well-observed character study and a right old romp all at once.

Aubrey Plaza, Karan Soni and Jake Johnson stare at Mark Duplass (not pictured) who plays a weirdo in this one, would you believe it.
