With the possible exception of Tom Hollander and his Rev cohorts, there isn’t a better comic performer on TV than Rafe Spall. He makes magic with fairly ordinary scripts, adding his own tics, double- takes and whimpers (I LOVE Pete’s whimpers) and his very own brand of appealing hopelessness.
The last episode in the series goes out on a great final two minutes as Pete implodes when witnessing a marriage proposal. This is after he goes out with a half-witted UFO believer called Tilly. And after he goads then picks a fight with a street performer who pretends to be a robot. I’m going to miss you, Pete. You prize berk.
