Tidy! It's like your favourite relatives turning up at Christmas.

Huw Fullerton, Radio Times, 7th December 2019Hold The Sunset makes Mrs Brown look like a masterpiece
Retiree romcom Hold The Sunset (BBC One) returned for a second series but I rather wish it had sailed off into its titular twilight. Instead, almost in the words of The Honeycombs' best-known song, it came right back and I just can't bear it.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 2nd August 2019Gavin & Stacey: Why we fell in love with Barry Island

British Comedy Guide, 20th September 2018Alison Steadman stars in short comedy film Ghosted
Alison Steadman has taken the lead role in Ghosted, a short comedy film about a woman who becomes a psychic medium after she loses her husband.
British Comedy Guide, 7th June 2018Given the cracking cast - which includes Alison Steadman, Jason Watkins and Anne Reid - it is a shame that this comedy isn't funnier. Tonight, Edith (Steadman) is trying to book a holiday, while her son Roger (Watkins) gets a surprising offer from his wife that forces him to ponder the meaning of life.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 4th March 2018Hold The Sunset has such comedy greats as: John Cleese! Alison Steadman! Jason Watkins! And what were they all thinking?
Watkins in particular was handed such stark no-hopers in script terms that when the page called for him to "get stuck with his arse hanging out of a shed window" he surely rejoiced at the lack of dialogue. Hold The Sunset... even the title sounds like a mocktail served at Dignitas. Yes, it really was that much fun.
