"I tried to keep an open mind, I really did. But 13 or so minutes in, when Mr G began his acting “masterclass” – a terribly unfunny segment about how to put on an American accent – I could feel my cheeks burning in embarrassment as a voice inside me screamed: “Make it stop!” Comedically, Lilley is insulated. Mr G is supposed to be awful: a hack who believes he’s brilliant. But that hardly makes the podcast more enjoyable. Lilley was never great at killing his darlings, but his desire to keep his old characters alive through any means possible now feels weird and a little desperate."
