Remember when TV was fun? Honey (BBC One), a new Cold War spy drama, is a loose prequel to Killing Eve, which on reflection is one of the last times TV was fun. The marvel is that Honey finds its fun in the grey-tones and stale breath of early Eighties East Germany. Writer Emma Moran, who wrote Disney's under-rated superhero do-over Extraordinary, wades back through Le Carré and The Lives of Others and asks, hang on, did no one ever smile? Admittedly, Moran has to work hard to tread the tonal tightrope of humour in a surveillance state, but mostly she pulls it off. It's a blast.
