Count Arthur Strong review
Steve Delaney's hapless comedian is back for a third series, and its gleeful mix of visual gags and absurdist dialogue puts to bed the idea that he is ill suited to TV.
Tim Dowling, The Guardian, 20th May 2017
Steve Delaney's catastrophically befuddled Count continues his welcome return and continues to make the life of Rory Kinnear's Michael a surreal misery. This week, Michael receives a summons for jury service, Arthur discovers the joy of doing good deeds and John the Watch runs into some of his old criminal associates, leading to a moment of sitcom genius comprising the exchange "Have they now?" "Yes." Looks nothing on paper but just you watch it.

TV show: Count Arthur Strong, BBC1
It's been a while since the last Count Arthur Strong series but the third run does not mark a significant change.
