Be warned, said Anita Singh in The Daily Telegraph: the opening of “Henpocalypse!” (BBC Two) may put you off. “Imagine being trapped on a stranger’s hen do, complete with screeching women, straws in the shape of penises, and a sozzled bride-to-be enthusiastically dry-humping a male stripper”, all set to the sound of Tom Jones’s “Sex Bomb”. But if you can take it, don’t switch off, as the series improves considerably when the action cuts to nine weeks later.
