Mammoth; Sandi’s Great Riviera Trip

“It’s a fantastically silly idea that produces some glorious moments but it occasionally lacks the courage of its convictions and so isn’t quite as side-splittingly funny as it could be. Mike Bubbins (who also co-writes the show) continues to be fantastic in the lead role, happily using his thick moustache and pot belly to comic effect. His sharp comic timing adds vim to every scene.”

“Shows where we watch celebrities go on holiday come in many different stripes, but all boil down to us pressing our noses up against the screen and wishing we were there while the famous bod has a lovely time. The most honest course of action for the famous person is to lean into it and enthuse. Toksvig does this, constantly wriggling and giggling with pleasure as she tells us how incredible, magnificent, wonderful and beautiful the Riviera is. It looks as if she is right.”
