John Cleese's new sitcom wasn't an instant hit with viewers

Hold The Sunset made its debut on Sunday night on BBC1. More than 6 million people tuned in on Sunday night but online viewer reviews for the Monty Python star’s new show were decidedly mixed.

The comedy stars Alison Steadman as a retired woman (Edith) who accepts a marriage proposal from her neighbour, Phil, (Cleese) – their plan is to sell their houses and start a new life in the sun. The brilliant cast (Peter Egan, Jason Watkins and Rosie Cavaliero also star), however, couldn’t save it from some rather disappointed reactions from viewers.

"Alison Steadman, John Cleese, and Peter Egan should have made this a good show to watch, but oh what a disappointment. It wasn't funny, and we stuck it out until the end, in the hope it would get better, but it was boring," wrote Diane Dorward on Facebook.

The BAFTAs were dominated by Three Billboards and Time's Up

More than 190 stars signed an open letter before the ceremony, calling for an end to abuse and inequality across the industry and beyond.

And they showed their support for the Time's Up movement on the red carpet by dressing in black for the occasion.

And Benedict Cumberbatch did a dramatic reading of a classic nursery rhyme

Because in fairness, who ISN'T a little teapot?

Preach, Mr Cumberbatch. Preach.

As our reviewer noted at the time: "His performance of ‘I’m a little Teapot’ should be commended for its visual form and hard-hitting delivery, as well as the actor’s commitment to conveying the physical process of tea-pouring."
