Kim Newson ponders some of the comedy star's recent career choices.

"Meet David Walliams's latest eccentric, Adrian Tintagel. No, it's not a lost character from Little Britain's gallery of grotesques, but a slightly sinister cult leader Walliams plays in Hotel Babylon.

He can't need the money, so why, we wonder, has he regularly taken on these odd guest roles since LB made him a huge star: EastEnders in 2003, Hustle and Miss Marple in 2004, Waking the Dead in 2005? Maybe the former National Youth Theatre member is just keeping his thespian skills toned up in preparation for an acting "big swim".

We won't have to wait long for that: he's now filming Stephen Poliakoff's new drama Capturing Mary."
