Very good jokes, less good jokes, clever jokes, stupid jokes, visual jokes, knowing jokes, new jokes, old jokes, surreal jokes, puns, nods, winks. Charlie Brooker's crime drama spoof, in which John Hannah and Suranne Jones gamely play characters not too dissimilar from ones they play in actual cop shows, is stuffed to the rafters with jokes. Oh, and an hour was too long, by about half an hour.Ī Touch of Cloth (Sky1), was/is (there's more on Monday) also too long. I did wonder though, whether this kind of telenovela-style melodrama is enough of a thing in this country to merit the spoof treatment (if that's what this is – I'm a bit slow when it comes to pastiche). The best thing Davis does is eat a boiled egg, without peeling it, just crunches through the shell. "Remind me, Rodrigo, did I remember to wear panties today?" she says, standing over the vicar who's lying on the church floor (answer: no). Horgan brings the smut to the party, as you'd expect. "Poisoned boys are sad, aren't they?" is nice, from Colman. There are are some good jokes, and some good lines. Can this really be the same actor who was also so brilliant as the tragic victim of a kind of urban torture in Accused just the other night? Range – I think that's what it's called. Davis is the evil sister, of course Colman – the pick of the bunch – is the simple one, who has never really got over poisoning her twin brother. Horgan is marrying into a wealthy mining family, even though the son she's getting hitched to is clearly at least 50 shades of gay. Anyway, Bad Sugar (Channel 4, Sunday) first, and Bain and Armstrong's show has three funny performances from three funny women. Nah, probably more about unfortunate scheduling.
