Jake checks out the new series of The Mimic, a Channel 4 comedy starring the impersonation talents of Terry Mynott...
Review
The first series of The Mimic was a pleasant surprise. Most recent sitcoms had been targeted at the younger side of the typical 18-35 demographic. But The Mimic broke the trend by being a little more grown-up in its outlook.
Terry Mynott, last seen in celeb-parodying Very Important People, plays gifted yet unsuccessful Martin Hurdle, a lowly site maintenance worker who amuses himself and his friends with uncanny impressions of film and TV stars, finding out he has a teenage son. Living in the same house as his happy-go-lucky landlady Jean who herself goes through a string of unsuitable boyfriends, his world is shaken up further by the news that his son's mother has terminal cancer. The use of impressions for a narrative story rather than just a parody...

"Ooh sweet and juicy pears." "You might as well dunk your head in a bowl of sugar." "Coooooooooor!" Yup, you guessed it, John and Gregg are back with yet another series of MasterChef, full to the brim with shouting, innuendo and serious discussions about courgette flowers.
But do we still need MasterChef in a post-Bake Off world? Have Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood's cream buns and soggy bottoms made Gregg and John's buttery biscuit bases a thing of the past?
And has Gregg managed to take a break from browsing for young fillies on Twitter to get his gob in a chocolate pud?
MasterChef's secret weapon these days is its familiarity. John and Gregg's shout-offs about who should go home, the preposterous angry chefs in the professional kitchen round, the uplifting indie tunes for the final reveal, it's a bingo-style drinking game dream. And we know it's all...
