British-Ukrainian writer Marina Lewycka has been posthumously awarded the Vintage Bollinger prize, a special winner-of-winners accolade celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Wodehouse prize for comic fiction. The award was given for her 2005 novel A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian, which was recognized for its humor and emotional depth by judge Claudia Winkleman. Lewycka passed away at the age of 79 just a day before the decision was announced.

The second series of the sitcom Mammoth, featuring a PE teacher who awakens after being frozen since the 1970s, has been reviewed positively for its deadpan humor and critique of masculinity. The show cleverly addresses contemporary societal issues through the lens of its outdated protagonist, providing a unique comedic perspective on modern life.
