Think fairground horse-racing mixed with Tipping Point.Ī chance to catch the erudite Irish comedian (and Mock the Week host) in all his chaotic glory from the comfort of your living room, in this recording of his stand-up show at Dublin’s Vicar Street in 2022.

Roman Kemp and Sarah Greene present this fast-paced new game show from Belfast, which sees contestants (five per episode) take part in quiz-fuelled races to win a jammy cash prize. The expert team are on hand to breathe some much-needed life back into a trove of random treasures: a designer bag turned family heirloom, a farming tractor that holds tragic memories – but sentimental value – for a family and a beautiful, but blunt, pair of scissors. Away from the film industry, though, it’s mostly a celebration of brotherly affection, and how people deserve to be celebrated despite their differences. But it’s not all easy going, as he’s warned by studio executives, and family members, that perhaps the world isn’t ready for him yet. He has big ambitions – as a huge Game of Thrones fan, he enlists star Kit Harington to read for the villain role, and receives guidance from actor and director Will Sharpe on how to crack Hollywood. In this affecting documentary, created with his brother Will (the pair also made 2014’s Emmy-nominated Growing Up Down’s for BBC Three), Jessop flies to Los Angeles in the hope of fulfilling his dream of writing his very own superhero movie, in which he would star as the hero. He’s also an outspoken advocate for people with Down’s being able to play more varied, richer roles that don’t only focus on their lived experience of the condition.

Best known for playing Terry Boyle in Line of Duty, Tommy Jessop has broken down multiple barriers throughout his career: he was the first professional actor with Down’s syndrome to tour British theatres as Hamlet, and the first to become a full voting member of Bafta.
