Mangan's performance is pitch-perfect, if you ask me, as was Steve Oram's as the Brummie psycho Neil, David Tennant's depressed, people-hating waiter and Grant's po-faced psychotherapist.

The good news is: it's also recognisably funny, sometimes seriously so.

So far it is half-excellent, half-nervous breakdown.

[Hang Ups] had moments of brilliance and moments of breakdown. But with endless scope for celeb cameos, with the likes of David Tennant, Jo Joyner and Paul Ritter still to come, there's plenty of potential.

It is hugely likeable and perfectly decent - but the prospect of making the next appointment isn't exactly tantalising.

It's possible to get this kind of comedy right. The brilliant Catastrophe, with Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, has proved that. But so far, Hang Ups has just left us dangling.
August 08, 2018
If sometimes their issues are a little overblown, these brilliant improvised performances bring such a spontaneous authenticity that it's easy to forget you are not spying on a real session. It is also often hilarious.

There are germs of absolute brilliance.
