Campus
Stars: Andy Nyman, Joseph Millson, Lisa Jackson, Jonathan Bailey, Sara Pascoe, Will Adamsdale, Dolly Wells | Produced and Directed by Victoria Pile
Created by the team behind Green Wing and Smack The Pony, Campus is a brand new comedy set in the hotbed of academic mediocrity that is Kirke University.
Run by the mercurial Vice Chancellor Jonty de Wolfe, played in superb Ott fashion by Andy Nyman, Kirke University is home to a veritable feast of degenerate, disingenious and downright delusional staff including philandering English Professor Matt Beer, shy Maths teacher Imogen Moffat, nice but dim student/teaching assistant Flatpack, Engineering lecturer Lydia “Big Shit” Tennant, Jason the reticent accountant and Nicole the feisty (if a little stupid) accomodations officer.
Campus is, much like Green Wing, a series of skits tied loosely together by a college setting but unlike Green Wing, Campus is darker, much darker. Be it the sexism and casual racism from Wolfe,...

Campus is a brand new comedy set in the hotbed of academic mediocrity that is Kirke University. At its helm is the stubby, mercurial Vice Chancellor Jonty de Wolfe, who wants nothing more than to drench Kirke in the juices of his own greatness.
As a scary cloud of financial doom hovers over the gently crumbling 60s concrete, Jonty attempts to pimp up Kirke in any way he can, whether it’s faked alumni, kidnapped prodigies or a range of “Eau de Kirke” perfumery – but his lofty plans soar as gracefully as a porky tortoise and while the strangely unsettling puppet master plunges deeper into the pickle jar, the rest of Kirke’s assorted staff get sidetracked by the more urgent dilemma of who to sleep with next.
The philandering English Professor Matt Beer is forced to up his game in all departments, as he makes no impression on shy Maths lecturer Imogen Moffat,...

I wasn’t a fan of Green Wing, the semi-improved comedy based on scripts that were a hodgepodge of jokes, sketches and sight gags gathered from a hive-mind of writers. It was an interesting way to produce a single-camera sitcom, and one that clearly found an audience, but I found its scattergun approach quite tiring. Many of Green Wing‘s writers are behind Channel 4′s new comedy offering Campus, which won’t escape “Green Wing in a university” branding, because that’s exactly what it is. The uni’s motto is even “with wings”.
“Publication, Publication, Publication” was a 70-minute extension of the half-hour Comedy Showcase pilot from 2009 (including adverts), which basically means there was an awful lot of filler. But this filler is exactly what Campus thrives on, as it’s really just an extended sequence of sketches and non sequiturs. Jonty De Wolfe (Andy Nyman) is the...
