Sally4Ever review – Julia Davis unleashes another comic monster
A singular mix of humiliation, emotional agony and bodily fluids skewers the viewer in exquisite agony
It is a reminder that, when discussing Davis, new words for “black” and “comedy” need to be found.
There are certain visuals now lodged for ever with the bald stinky and fat urethra in the dungeon of my mind, ready to prey upon me in the wee small hours. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but it doesn’t matter. Davis is sui generis and you are free to respond to her as you see fit. The only thing that is not in question is that she is a woman of singular vision – a disgusting, hilarious, agonising vision, but singular – and has the actors to realise it perfectly.

Julia Davis’s sitcom return is not for the fainthearted
Some viewers will have loved the new Sky Atlantic comedy Sally4Ever and some, we can safely say, will have loathed it with a pearl-clutching passion. But both camps will surely agree on this — China in Your Hand is ruined. For all of us. For ever. I only hope Carol Decker had a Valium to hand. Because we will never dissociate it now from that unforgettable lesbian sex scene in which — stop reading if you’re of a sensitive disposition — Emma (Julia Davis) removed Sally’s (Catherine Shepherd) bloody tampon with her teeth and flung it across the room. I haven’t monitored tampons as props over the years, but I fancy this was a TV first.
