Thankfully for Archer’s justifiably large fanbase, this second season of spy-based semi-‘60s silliness maintains the same hilarious quality.

Thankfully for Archer’s justifiably large fanbase, this second season of spy-based semi-‘60s silliness maintains the same hilarious quality.
It’s business as usual as another motley bunch of new and old horror contenders step into the ring for a bloody fight to the death.
Kicking things off this month, we have the first foray into this genre by verbose Clerks/Mallrats/Cop Out director Kevin Smith, the thinly veiled Waco siege satire Red State.
Fans of Jon Pertwee’s paternalistic Doctor have always found plenty to love in 1971’s The Daemons.
Sky1’s remarkable drama from 2011 proved such a success that a further two series were quickly commissioned, and it’s not hard to see why.
Just when you thought salvation was at hand, Season 3 represents very much business as usual for everyone’s favourite pill-popping nurse.
The real draw of this deliberately silly – and occasionally, surprisingly moving little programme – is to see a ‘new’ version of the Python boys do their stuff.
While Fawlty Towers will always be the best known post-Python programme, the most fondly-remembered by fans is probably Michael Palin and Terry Jones’ Ripping Yarns.
Warm, cheeky and wildly charismatic, Morgan proves that his titular role on Merlin has yet to really scratch the surface of his talent.
1977’s The Face of Evil, despite playing on themes of religious devotion and artificial intelligence, never quite catches fire.
