TV tonight: more boundary pushing from Frankie Boyle
Frankie Boyle #FrankieBoyle
Fresh from his deeply entertaining TV tour of Scotland, featuring road tests of fresh material, comic Frankie Boyle now brings this 45-minute set of his typically acerbic observations from the King’s theatre in Glasgow.

Of course, expect lines to be crossed. Ammar Kalia
