One Man, Two Guvnors: The Riotous Return of Farce to Your Screen This January.
Richard Bean's hilarious adaptation of The Servant of Two Masters has finally returned to screens, and it promises to bring laughter and joy back to your home. First made famous at the National Theatre in 2011, starring James Corden, this riotous farce has captured audiences worldwide with its slapstick humor, witty dialogue, and larger-than-life characters. With its success also paving the way for Corden's own talk show, it's little wonder that the film adaptation reached a staggering two million viewers during lockdown in 2020.
Now, streaming from January 13th on NT at Home, fans can once again indulge in this sidesplitting romp of mistaken identities, silly antics, and plenty of 'winerama!' to go around. With its trademark blend of physical comedy, absurdity, and heart, One Man, Two Guvnors is an absolute must-watch for anyone who's ever loved a good laugh.
In other theatrical offerings this month, the BBCiPlayer is hosting Big Night of Musicals by the National Lottery, featuring big-name guests like Billy Porter, Carrie Hope Fletcher, and Ruthie Henshall. While the Unquiet Podcast: Stories for Dark Nights promises an eerie audio experience with E Nesbit's The Mass for the Dead, another winter warmer on the horizon is Frederick Ashton's elegant Les Patineurs, a 2010 Royal Ballet production available on Opera Stream.
Meanwhile, filmgoers can also look forward to Breaking Bach at Usher Hall in Edinburgh, which brings baroque-meets-hip-hop together in a unique project charted in this MarqueeTV production. Another production worth watching is Much Ado About Nothing, an impeccably performed Stratford festival 2023 production with clever new scenes by Erin Shields that add extra depth and agency to Hero's role.
For those looking for something more contemporary, National Theatre at Home also has Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Next to Normal available. And if you're in the mood for a thriller, Murder at Midnight, a comedy-thriller by Torben Betts, is on tour with its own filmed adaptation available from Original Theatre.
A month full of theatrical delights awaits this January, so mark those calendars and get ready for an evening of entertainment like no other.

. First off, climate change is still a thing, sea levels are rising and it's only going to get worse 
. And don't even get me started on the state of our mental health, anxiety and depression are rampant and no one seems to be doing much about it 
. The richest people in the world are getting richer while millions struggle to make ends meet. And have you seen the state of our oceans lately? Plastic waste is everywhere and it's killing marine life 
.
I'm super stoked about the return of One Man, Two Guvnors! 
It's been ages since I've had a good laugh, and Richard Bean's adaptation sounds hilarious. The combination of slapstick humor, witty dialogue, and physical comedy is always a winner in my book 
. And with its trademark blend of absurdity and heart, it's sure to be a sidesplitting romp. I'm also loving the line-up of other shows, from Big Night of Musicals to Much Ado About Nothing. There's something for everyone this January, so mark those calendars and get ready for an evening of entertainment! 
. And can we talk about how talented Richard Bean is? The guy's got magic when it comes to creating hilarious characters that just make you want to watch more 
. I'm definitely adding this one to my watchlist ASAP! 
also whats with all these shows and musicals available on streaming services can we just make one of them the default setting or something? 
.
. On the other hand, I'm not really sure about this Big Night of Musicals on BBCiPlayer - I mean, have you seen those musicals? All that singing and dancing can be a bit much for me 
. Maybe it's just me, but I'll stick to my gory-thrillers like Murder at Midnight 
. Anyway, gotta say, though, the more I hear about this Next to Normal musical on National Theatre at Home, the more intrigued I get - Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey are geniuses! 
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, let's appreciate the value of laughter in our lives, but also acknowledge its limitations...
