comedy of the year

the trip to spain (sky atlantic/now tv) Despite brilliant shows from comedy legends Peter Kay, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, nothing gave us greater pleasure this year than watching Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon chewing the fat, doing impressions and bickering their way through the lush landscapes of the Spanish coast, as directed by Michael Winterbottom, pictured below. Coogan says, “We are very pleased to receive this. It was a real pleasure to make, and people ask if it’s as much fun to make as it is to watch, and it is almost as much fun. I’m sure we’ll do another series one day, if we can’t get any other work.” Runners-up: This Country (BBC3) People Just Do Nothing (BBC3)
