Big Mood review: Nicola Coughlan is fantastic but the same can’t be said for the rest of this unfunny, jarring showNicola Coughlan in Big Mood.

Photograph: Matt Crockett/Channel 4has already produced one successful comedy-drama, in which an Irish actor plays a woman negotiating depression-like symptoms while embarking on Bridget Jones-style romantic adventures in modern London.

Keys To My Life review: Eilish O’Carroll on finding love – ‘We were both straight women living a straight life ... My biggest problem was my Catholic guilt’ This is all a bit Carry on ...

In other words, her uproarious behaviour is not the result of her starring in a boggle-eyed romcom but a side effect of her mental health issues.

To her credit, Coughlan is fantastic throughout. But Channel 4 needs to get her off that e-scooter and find her a better vehicle for her talents.
