Star Stories, while not a favourite around these parts, did pretty well for Channel 4, both with audiences, and (may I say amazingly) critically. The star of these particular stories was, for most people, Kevin Bishop and so Channel 4 gave him a chance at writing and starring in his very own show. The pilot – shown as part of the Comedy Showcase season – must have thrown up the right stats and figures, as a full series starts this Friday. As the trailer shows, this sketch show is made up of TV and celebrity parodies, and if you you pop over the cut, you can get a taster of things to come…
WARNING: Contains images of comedy drug abuse based on Morecambe and Wise’s famous breakfast sketch. Really.
