TV Cream

It’s fifty years since Mike first appeared on our screens as a fresh-faced young whippersnapper from Oxford, and he’s never been off them since. Everyone’s aware he’s the nicest man in showbiz and he’s certainly achieved great things in comedy and documentary, though we think most of all he enjoys being an actor and we were delighted to see him receive such good reviews for his performance in The Death Of Stalin recently. He’s contributing to this documentary, as too are so many of his myriad friends, and we’re sure it’ll be a great watch. It’s followed by And Now For Something Completely Different, which is a bit of a shame because we’d rather see the original Python sketches than some bored recreations in a disused dairy, but Mike’s performance remains immaculate throughout.
