At first glance, this penultimate instalment of Crazyhead would appear to be business as usual. There’s the usual display of cheekiness, intelligent wit and endearing character work, but it hardly feels like its building to any huge revelatory crescendo. But whilst ‘Downward Facing Dog’ doesn’t exactly shake everything to the core ready for the big … >

Yet based on the opening instalment of E4’s new six-part horror-comedy Crazyhead, it’s possible we may have something … >
