NEW COMEDY
Miracle Workers: Dark Ages
Monday, Sky Comedy HD, 9pm
The last time we saw Daniel Radcliffe on our screens, he was playing an English prince in the interactive finale of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. This week, he returns in another royal role – but it couldn’t be more different.
The Harry Potter actor is back in Sky Comedy’s Miracle Workers, which returns for a second season with the same cast, but an entirely new setting and storyline.
In the first season, Radcliffe played angel Craig, working in the afterlife for a disillusioned God (Steve Buscemi). The new season focuses on a group of villagers during the Middle Ages who are trying to stay positive in a time of inequality, pestilence and violence.
Show creator Simon Rich says the series has been inspired by some classic British comedy.
‘Obviously, everybody will bring up Blackadder and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and they should,’ he explains. ‘Those are direct influences – you’ll find references and homages throughout.
