So, the nation was finally exposed to the first episode of Gervais’ – Life’s Too Short on BBC2. One of the things that appears to shine through is the focus on the central characters personality, which having read other reviews around t’internet, agree that some of the situations would have been funny regardless of Warwick’s …

The Making of… Life’s Too Short Review
I really, really wanted to hate this programme and there were a few toe-curling moments. But not because it was a gag about a dwarf or poking fun at a dwarf. What really comes through is the strength of (or more like the lack of) character played by Warwick Davis. How many of us can …
Ricky Gervais: ‘Bring on the haters’ on The Guardian website
In an interview on The Guardian website, the comedian Ricky Gervais wonders why people are worried that his new comedy ‘Life’s Too Short’ will be a “cruel comedy” and “…that people confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke…”. Well Mr Gervais, when you have been the butt of jokes – …
Life’s Too Short – The Making Of
Warwick Davis’ new comedy series with Ricky Gervais is due to start soon – I’ve caught the trailer on BBC 1 on a number of occasions over the last week or so. The Making of the Series is due to air on BBC 2 this Saturday (5th November) at 10.15pm – so set your set-top …
Performer Refers To Her Child As Midget
I’m a bit late on picking this one up and I don’t want to get into the racism row regarding Kelis at the airport. I was, however, mystified (and somewhat alarmed as to) why the performer would use the the offensive word ‘midget’ (the equivalent of the ‘N’ word to people with restricted growth), …
Programme Review: Channel 4 – Seven Dwarves – 20th September 11
Tonight it was Craig’s turn to have the camera turned on his story in tonight’s episode of Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves (#sevendwarves). An equally humorous and dark episode which highlights we all discriminate against something in life whether you are short, tall or fat. Craig’s depiction of this had me stitches with his rant about …
Programme Review: Channel 4 – Seven Dwarves – 13th September 11
Ok, so I haven’t been a great fan of the title of Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves, however tonight’s episode has been exceptionally good. This week following, Laura Whitfield from Sunderland and her poignant story of having lost her mum and her problems growing up and the obstacles that she’s overcome to turn her life around. …
Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves
I’m afraid the majority of this series has passed me by as I’ve had other things to deal with over the last few weeks, but I managed to catch the first episode of Channel 4’s Seven Dwarves, which was apparently made by the same people who made My Gypsy Wedding. For some reason this didn’t …

Programme Review: Small Teen, Bigger World
Over the last month, I’ve laughed, cried and at times felt uncomfortable as Jasmine and her Mum, Bev have allowed us a glimpse into their world. Bev provides a wonderful lightness to the somewhat heavy subjects handled throughout the documentary series. Remembered my own shock of failing my first driving test after always seeming to …
