The flourish of colour descending over trees and plants as they present their swansong; outings with excited children collecting conkers, berries and other treasures to clutter the house before spring returns; making jams, chutneys and soups to use up garden stock. Autumn also represents a time for clearance, for reflection; the time for festivals as we celebrate harvests, Samhain and its many variants and most importantly the run-up to Christmas.

There are so many joys to be had at this time of the year, but by far the best is that the television suddenly remembers its sole purpose in existence is to entertain us.
And so I return to focus. With a sudden influx of comedy worth writing about, I now begin a series of reviews of some of the new season’s offerings. I cannot say in which order they will appear; some are written already, some are words floating in my head, some are little more than an “I really must get around to watching that” but of the many shows on at the moment, either completely new or the return of old favourites, there should be something to suit most who appreciate the value of laughter and the effort put in by those who contribute to the comedy we all love most.
