Review: Queen Of Oz

Thanks to David Jason's The Royal Bodyguard, Queen Of Oz cannot be labelled the worst regal BBC sitcom ever made. It's a strong second though.

Queen Of Oz review

"You can't satirise the royals - they're unimprovable".

Queen Of Oz review

Some of the supporting cast put in a game effort, but sympathies go out them for being hitched to such a limp excuse for a comedy which - after The Nan Movie and Netflix series Hard Cell - completes a hat-trick of Catherine Tate comedy flops. Still, she's good in Doctor Who...

Queen Of Oz review

Princess Georgiana is 'a total embarrassment' and so is the show: Just. Not. Funny.

Queen Of Oz review

Alexa, play God Save the Queen. The Sex Pistols one.

Queen Of Oz review

Catherine Tate is truly monstrous in her new BBC sitcom.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 16th June 2023

Queen Of Oz review

It's hard to feel sorry for Catherine Tate's exiled spoilt brat.

Queen Of Oz review

For a show that on paper reads like a promising send up of the monarchy, while also dodging a lot of the current scraps surrounding our royal family (whom this incarnation most certainly is not) watching Queen Of Oz leaves us wondering if we're supposed to be rooting for Georgie or laughing at her. The prospect of it being the former makes the whole thing decidedly less enjoyable.
