After relinquishing his TARDIS keys, Peter Capaldi teased a return to Malcolm Tucker; the chalk to the Doctor’s cheese. Now creator Armando Iannucci has revived him for a debate with Alan Partridge in The Big Issue. You can see approval rippling through Britain, whose political climate is so bizarre we’re kind of living in a less plausible version of ‘The Thick of It’. We need Malcolm Tucker, a spin doctor so accomplished he could probably rebrand Brexit as a remedy for badger constipation. Be warned: this post is a celebration of Malcolm.

Armando Iannucci’s madcap, colour-blind Copperfield is a delight, and one which feels sadly overlooked - I think because it took reviewers by surprise. Modern Dickens adaptations can be a bit dreary, and I get the sense that reviewers (and audiences) don’t really know what to make of a Dickens that plays up the zaniness of its source material. In any event: Dev Patel!
