The Ballad of Wallis Island is a lovely film - a beautifully observed British comedy with some great songs and shot through with a bittersweet poignancy. Brilliant performances all round - especially from Tim Key. Echoes of Withnail and I - it deserves to be a big hit.

If, like me, you have no time for Withnail then don’t be put off by the comparison above. This is worth seeing.
The sketch show “Cowards” has several episodes on BBC Sounds, and the whole of “Party” is also available, as is the phenomenally-good “Tim Key Poetry Program”. They both feature throughout.
