It’s a big night for itv2 tonight – not only does the US import Bionic Woman begin (I still can’t believe Zoe Slater stars in it…!) but there are not one, not two but three brand new British comedies getting under way too. I can’t guarantee that every one will be a classic obviously, but worth a watch, I’d imagine.
After Bionic Woman, there’s a new show from Leigh Francis – yup, the Bo Selector guy – in which he stars as Keith Lemon, the northern businessman whom you might have seen in Francis’ other programmes, who goes off around the world. And that’s about all I can work out… At 10.30pm, there’s a new sketch show, called Laura, Ben and Him, which stars Perrier Award winner Laura Solon, Ben Willbond, and Marek Larwood, a member of the sketch troupe We Are Klang. Knowing a little about their individual work, I think we can expect this to be rather surreal and very silly. Finally there’s a new series of Comedy Cuts, in which comedians deliver monologues to the camera in different situations. I talked to one of the stars, Tom Basden, last week, and you can read that interview here.
