Mandy: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Diane Morgan's comedy creation goes on hapless adventures
Year: 2019-
Certificate: 12
You may know her as Philomena Cunk, the moronic presenter of entirely inaccurate history and culture documentaries, or as chaotic single mum Liz in Motherland, but Diane Morgan's oddest creation is all her own. Constantly chewing her lip to grotesque degrees, Mandy is the backcombed heroine of these bitesize episodes who spends her time trying and failing to get gainful employment.
Over three series, she has not learnt a single lesson about how to get on in the world. She's tried working in a banana-processing warehouse, biscuit factory, in a supermarket and a stately home and there are always surreal and outrageous catastrophes, and the odd fatality. Series three appears to have had a bit more budget to play with, enabling some fun special effects when Mandy has leg-lengthening surgery to become an airline hostess. Whether she's flying high or low, Mandy always picks herself up and starts again.
The latest, fourth series features a raft of guest stars and a brisk delivery of gags that skew to the sillier or edgier side. (Four series)
