Then Gordon Kennedy of Absolutely fame was found dead in the bath. It was bonkers TV

A few weeks ago I reviewed The Feud, a six-part thriller about the building of a kitchen extension. Seriously. A kitchen extension. I ventured that 5’s dramas had now become so bonkers they had entered the strange territory of “so bad they were good”. Clever old 5, sending itself up and giving us a laugh in the process; what would those genre-bending commissioning editors think of next? Full disclosure: I’m an eejit. Before the first of four parts was over it did not need the powers of Sherlock Holmes to see The Game was a rum do.
