The joy of Sky plus makes, the otherwise dull, Monday night a festival of last weeks recorded comedy. Amongst the usual, “Earl”, “Mitchell & Webb”, last night was the first of a new series called “Comedy Showcase” – this starring Martin Freeman out of the Office.
It was OK however the programme lit up when the lead, locked up for assault, was visited in the cells by “International Rescue – er actually I’m not really International Rescue – I’m the Duty Solicitor”.
His subsequent entrance into Court, to a tape recording of “Eye of the Tiger” was also a high point but I enjoyed this exchange best, not least because it is so Peer Review correct.
DS “Do you know what I say to all my clients?”
MF “What, ‘you have the right of appeal’ once they are convicted?”
