Tom Mack, Leicester Mercury, 7th November 2016Review: Unspun With Matt Forde, Dave
Matt Forde's new political series nearly hit the buffers before it had even been recorded. Forde's first guest was scheduled to be Labour leadership contender Owen Smith, but he pulled out. Forde suggested on the show that Smith was concerned about appearing laddish. It was a shame, but his stand-in, former Home Secretary Alan Johnson was good value for money anyway.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th September 2016Unspun with Matt Forde review
A bold commission from what was once the home of the repeat, an ultra-topical political show recorded the night before transmission.

Andy Zaltzman, WOW247, 3rd June 2016Andy Zaltzman: Satirist for Hire - review
It is hard not to see Satirist for Hire as an experiment: an effort by Zaltzman to stretch himself and see how well he can respond to the unexpected. Yet the material that he has prepared in advance is so clearly superior the experiment can be said to be only a qualified success.
Dave Cunningham, The Reviews Hub, 16th November 2015Interview: Andy Zaltzman
Satirist for Hire comedian discusses Donald Trump, cricket and Purslow McCladdagle.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 11th November 2015TV review: Rory Bremner's Election Report, BBC2
The shock result, however, probably meant that he and his writers - who include familiar circuit comics Chris Coltrane and Andy Zaltzman - had to rip up some of their work done in advance and start virtually from scratch. Taking that into account some of this is pretty good.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 13th May 2015This week's new live comedy
Previews of Lost Voice Guy, Andy Zaltzman and Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
James Kettle, The Guardian, 1st May 2015
