    It is all well done, especially by a writer making her small screen debut (Whitehall and Coughlan previously created the popular podcast comedy Whistle Through the Shamrocks together) and clearly well intentioned. So you can feel the frustration mount as the damn thing refuses to catch fire, take flight or whatever your preferred metaphor is for wishing.

    Being “The Bipolar Comedy” is a good pitch on which Big Mood doesn’t deliver. Relying on two very good actors to conjure up a kooky friendship that we want to watch for three hours is asking a lot. At least it is initially. .... The final episode is by some way the strongest. The question is, will you watch that far?

    While the idea of a sitcom centred around mental illness – rather than, you know, which members of a friendship group are currently shagging – is appealing, the show just isn’t funny enough. Light on jokes, self-conscious, underwhelming.
