Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th July 2016Sketch show Anna & Katy axed by Channel 4
"We are talking to them about other projects," says Channel 4 as it tells RadioTimes.com that Anna Crilly and Katy Wix's show will not be getting a second series.
Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 21st June 2013Anna & Katy was a prime example of how not to do TV sketch comedy - coming off as little more than a lame college revue.
Is talking in a funny accent automatically hilarious? Anna Crilly and Katy Wix clearly think so because that's what they seem to do for the majority of the dog's breakfast that is Anna & Katy.
From an opening sketch featuring the pair of them attempting (I think) some kind of comedy Caribbean on a daytime TV show, by way of a naff stab at pidgin German, here was an object lesson in how not to be funny.
Well, that's my take. I'd held off reviewing Anna & Katy for three episodes, giving it a chance to settle down after an opening effort that left me cold. Some good things were written about it. Had I missed something? No, it still felt like a spectacularly lame college comedy revue, where just saying the word 'knob' is guaranteed a laugh because everyone's off their heads. Why C4 has this garbage on its main channel is a mystery.
