  The Durrells, episode 6 review: a fine finale to this most heartwarming of dramas

  Farewell lovely The Durrells (ITV), we will miss you. It is always such a wrench when a much-loved, harmless piece of sun-splashed whimsy runs out of steam and gets ruthlessly wiped from the schedules. Still, The Durrells got a good send-off, with its writer Simon Nye penning an episode that gave the majority of the characters one last walk-on part (even muscly Swedish accordion player Sven; I mean, when did we last see him?).

  The Life I Lead review: Often charming look at the not-so-charmed life of David Tomlinson

  For Walt Disney, who cast him as the workaholic Mr Banks in Mary Poppins, David Tomlinson was the epitome of a genteel Englishman. It’s a technically impressive and emotionally truthful performance, in which one-liners and pathos are delivered with equal aplomb.

  The Life I Lead, Park Theatre, review: an affectionate and moving resumé of the life of Mary Poppins star David Tomlinson

  What was David Tomlinson’s reaction on seeing the first cut of Mary Poppins, in which he starred as bowler-hatted banker George Banks? Although generations have loved that quintessence of the Edwardian gent busted out of his starchy shell by the fantastical antics of the world’s most famous nanny, Tomlinson’s verdict (subsequently revised) was that it was “appallingly sentimental”.

  There She Goes episode 5, review: David Tennant convincingly goes against type as an ugly, unfunny drunk

  Because the makers have thrown such a formidable quantity of quality talent at it: David Tennant and Jessica Hynes play Simon and Emily, parents of severely-learning disabled Rosie (Miley Locke – outstanding), while Nigel Planer plays Rosie’s granddad. The usual, not-that-hilarious consequences follow, because Rosie is a girl what daddy calls “very few words and moments of explosive violence”. Rosie is non-verbal, unpredictable, screeching and screaming as she takes off her dress.
