Martin Freeman hails 'impressive' Jeremy Corbyn.

Hollywood star Martin Freeman has hailed Jeremy Corbyn as the most impressive Labour leadership contender.

But the Sherlock actor, who fronted a general election broadcast for Labour, also said he thinks Mr Corbyn's critics are correct.

In a session at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, Freeman was asked if Mr Corbyn would be his preference in Labour's leadership race, and he said "yes" but added that he thinks his critics are right.

"And if it means we're in the wilderness ... then it's no good at all," he said.

But he added: "However, I happen to think that he is the most impressive one of the four. I do."
