Steve Coogan as Tommy Saxondale
Credit: BBC
In Alan Partridge’s Noughties wilderness – the years between his failed bouncing back, seen in the 2002 series I’m Alan Partridge, and his more empathetic return, which began with 2010’s Mid Morning Matters and continues with the new series of This Time – another of Steve Coogan’s creations rode into town (well, Stevenage).
He arrived in a Boss 351 Mustang, rocking a pair of Wrangler ProRodeo jeans and Dunlop green flash pumps. All hail Tommy Saxondale, roadie to the guitar gods-turned-pest control operative and free-thinking wisdom-imparter.
Tommy was also the star of his own BBC Two sitcom, Saxondale, co-written by Coogan and Neil MacLennan, which ran for two series in 2006 and 2007. As with some of Coogan’s other characters – the Portuguese heartthrob Tony Ferrino; spoof horror anthology host Dr. Terrible; and the motley crew of characters from Coogan’s Run – Saxondale is perhaps overshadowed by the sheer comedi

Peacock, who has died aged 89 from a dementia-related illness, was best known for his role of parish councillor, Jim Trott, in The Vicar of Dibley, the popular sitcom starring Dawn French. But he was also an accomplished dramatic actor, having starred in the title role in Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus and as Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew.

Until today s comics grow out of the puerile urge to swear for laughs, there can never be another truly funny sitcom.
Foul language kills good comedy. It ditches the need for wit or clever characters, and replaces them with an easy spatter of obscenity.
Meet The Richardsons (Dave) is a prime example. Husband-and-wife comedians Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont have poured their hearts into this mock documentary about their domestic life.
But they grew up in the school of comedy that believes all you have to do to get a laugh is reel off a stream of profanities for a punchline. Every laugh is undermined, because the couple can always take the easy route by saying something dirty.
