Sean Hughes has probably changed a little bit since you last saw him. He is, after all, forty seven and not on our screens as much as he was in his Nineties TV heyday. Even his Irish accent has faded. But he’s still funny.
His latest show Penguins begins in zany fashion with Sean performing a brief puppet show to the strains of Edith Piaf’s 'Je ne regretted rien'. Which he proceeds to mime to. While in drag. The reasons for his choice of dress are never really explained and Sean even questions his own music selection arguing (convincingly) that anyone who tells you that they have...

Stagecoach South West announced today that, for the duration of the Dawlish railway closure, it is extending its ‘Exeter Plus’ Dayrider and Megarider Zone to include Dawlish.
The change is effective immediately and means that a week of unlimited bus travel between Dawlish and Exeter costs just £20, reducing the cost of a weekly ticket by a quarter.
The operator hopes that that move will help ease travel problems for local residents commuting between Dawlish and Exeter by encouraging people not to resort to their cars on the busy A379 route.
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes the next month of the season will go a long way to determining just how his side will fare in the end of season shake-up in the Aviva Premiership.
After a month of European and domestic Cup action which has brought three successive victories for Devon's finest, the top flight returns in earnest tomorrow with the Chiefs ready to welcome high-flying Northampton Saints to Sandy Park (7pm).
