TV review: Newark, Newark, Gold

Start spreading the news. Gold has a great new sitcom.

Newark, Newark preview

There's one big problem with this delightful portrait of a relationship between an oddball son and his recently divorced mum: three episodes just isn't enough.

Newark, Newark review

A rare working class comedy that doesn't punch down.

Ed Power, i Newspaper, 28th March 2022

The Flynns' front door is always open to northern actors willing to make cameo appearances, and this week's visitors are Beverley Callard and Paul Copley, playing Caroline's crass expat parents, Pat and Alan.

It's their wedding anniversary, they're home from Spain to celebrate, and poor Chloe is at the nasty end of Pat's observation that her mum and dad only got married to give her a surname. Cue a series of gloriously half-baked flashbacks to the Flynns' courtship - the pregnancy test, Liam's terrible curtains haircut - intended to reassure Chloe of their love. And amid the toilet humour, love is what In with the Flynns has got going for it. It's unusually warm.
