Milestone reached as new pilots are announced
The BBC has announced four new pilots in its Comedy Slices strand – all led by female talent.
With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s romcom Starstruck, today’s news means that most comedy programmes on BBC Three are now led by women.
The channel claims to be the first in the UK to achieve this landmark with women representing 58 per cent of the key talent involved in long form-scripted comedy writing.
The newly announced pilots, which all run for 22 minutes are:
Dinosaur: Written by Matilda Curtis and starring stand-up Ashley Storrie as Nina, as autistic woman who finds happiness in the world thanks to her passion for palaeontology and her friendship with her bubbly younger sister Evie. However, when Evie asks Nina to be her maid of honour, Nina decides to step out of her comfort zone with a challenge: to find herself a date to bring to the wedding.

Taskmaster series 11 review | A gleeful hour of absurdity
4.0 out of 5 star rating
Over the past few months, Thursday nights have become
the night of the week for reality competitions, whether its been the runway challenges of Drag Race UK, the furry feats in Pooch Perfect or the cringe-worthy comedic attempts in Stand Up and Deliver. While all of these shows have now vacated their regular spots on our TV guides, thankfully Taskmaster is flooding back to save us all from a telly scheduling drought.

The long-running game show, which moved from Dave to Channel 4 last year, returns to our screens tonight with its 11th series, another eclectic Taskmaster line-up of comedians and a new list of ridiculous tasks that pose (and answer) a number of questions, including: “How would Lee Mack go about trapping a motorised electronic rat?”.

Jameela Jamil is "thoughtful" about who she follows on social media - 12-Mar-2021
Jameela Jamil is "thoughtful" about who she follows on social media
The 'Good Place' actress puts a lot of care into the content she sees online and thinks it is important to "curate a timeline" which inspires, rather than makes one feel "terrible" about their lives
12 March 2021
Giving her self-care tips, she said: "Get rid of anything on your timeline that is making you feel bad about yourself. We have control over what we take in. We donât have to click on that Explore button on Instagram. We can curate a timeline that makes us feel like weâre learning something or that inspires us, rather than feeling terrible about our lives, ourselves and our relationships. Being thoughtful about what weâre seeing is really important. I now follow activists, artists, amazing make-up artists, writers and comedians. I love following people like Daisy May Cooper â she brings me life. Munroe Bergdorf â I learn so much from her. I leave Instagram feeling a little bit smarter or better [following these women]."

Why Tim Key's poems are the only thing getting me through lockdown
Why Tim Key’s poems are the only thing getting me through lockdown
Matt Boytwitch, Rishi Perfect, Bohnson on a swing in the Downing Street rose garden – the comedian has produced some of the greatest political cartoons of the pandemic.
The poet and comedian Tim Key is not a political man. He can express opinions on the government one-on-one, “when I’m on safe ground”, he tells me, but not, say, at a dinner party.
Yet Key's poems are some of the greatest political cartoons of the pandemic. Those he wrote in the past year – roughly one per day
– fell broadly into two categories: the things that people were doing at home during lockdown, and the things being done on the 5pm broadcasts, every day, at No 10, in the room with the flowery carpet.

Stand Up & Deliver
Stand Up & Deliver, Channel 4
“Stand Up & Deliver was a hoot. Nick Helm and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi made a delightful double act, with the outsider comedian Helm realising that the contradictions within Warsi – working class, child of immigrants, northern, only non-white face in the Cabinet – made her a kindred spirit. I’d happily watch another few episodes of Helm and Warsi’s odd-couple adventures.”
“The casting is magnificent: the Rev Richard Coles, the reality mainstay Curtis Pritchard, the former Corrie star Katie McGlynn, the Conservative peer Sayeeda Warsi and, best of all, the Happy Mondays’ Shaun Ryder. By the end of this first part, I was so invested in their ‘journeys’ that I forgot there was a competitive element. At this stage, anyone could win. But hearing Ryder tell that story about tomatoes means we are all winners.”
