If you're still bemoaning the end of The Office there's salvation to be found in this mirthful mockumentary that's a cross between Four Weddings and Best In Show, via Wernham Hogg. Focusing on a competition set up by wedding mag Confetti to find the most original nuptials, we follow three couples as they try to organise their big day. There's the tennis-mad, competitive duo (Stephen Mangan and Meredith MacNeill) who want a Wimbledon affair, the sweet naturists (Peep Show's Olivia Colman and Robert Webb) yearning for a nude ceremony and the musicals fans (Martin Freeman and Spaced star Jessica Stevenson) who dream of a Fred and Ginger extravaganza. Largely improvised, Confetti relies heavily on the considerable talents of its Brit TV stars, whose inventiveness make for a beguiling mixture of moving moments, sniggers and excruciating silences.
