Rev.
1x01 Episode 1
BBC Two's new Church-based sitcom is very good. Recommended, for what that's worth.

Stand Up for the Week
1x01 (25/6/10 edition)
Well, now, that was at least as rude as was implied, eh. Some of it was quite funny though, so that's OK. Though I'm slightly concerned: this is the third thing I've seen with Jack Whitehall in a row where I thought he was one of the best bits -- do I actually like him?!
