Charlotte Ritchie interview
"Feel Good has been cathartic for a lot of people."
Michael Hogan, The Observer, 30th May 2021I talk to Charlotte Ritchie and Mae Martin
"Because they're not always great for each other, I wasn't anticipating how much people would fall in love with that couple and be rooting for them."
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 28th May 2021Taskmaster review
Should you be looking for a show that treats its stars with utter disrespect, Taskmaster (C4) is just the ticket.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 21st May 2021Ghosts to be remade in America
American TV network CBS is working on a US version of Ghosts. A series of the comedy has now been ordered, following a pilot episode having been filmed in December.
British Comedy Guide, 1st April 2021A new series of Taskmaster began, which has every promise to match the highs of the last. Chief among the promiseers in series 11 is Sarah Kendall, the driest of Aussies, yet we also have grumpy Jamali Maddix, Lee Mack and the like, and the mix works (again) wonderfully well, crushing together those who will solve an impossible problem in methodical fashion and those who will throw proven natural laws to all 13 winds. Trapping a giant motorised rat in a net from three metres away, conveying 24 unbroken dinner plates on a hoverboard through a hangar, inviting a helium balloon to behave - never mind Taskmaster, this should be the primary task for all diplomats and wannabe 007s. As ever, creator Alex Horne and Taskmaster Greg Davies fashion great humour from abject failure. I think Greg's resolutely kind demolition of Charlotte Ritchie - "you didn't think your left hand was for anything?" - represents a touchstone in anthropology.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 21st March 2021Taskmaster review
As easy as keeping a cushion spinning on a finger.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 19th March 2021TV review: Taskmaster, Series 11, Episode 1
This opening episode was one of the strongest out of all of them, and I'd be amazed if by the end this wasn't seen as one of the best, right up their with series 5 and 7.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 19th March 2021Review: Dead Pixels deserves a better platform
Why is Dead Pixels tucked away on The Big Bang Theory channel? (Some people refer to it as E4).
Michael Lee, The Custard TV, 2nd February 2021TV review: Dead Pixels, Series 1-2
Genuinely funny, very watchable and boosted by impressive visuals and strong comic performances from Davies, Mellor and Ritchie especially, Dead Pixels is guaranteed to keep you glued to the screen.
Chris Hallam, Chris Hallam's World View, 1st February 2021Dead Pixels series 2 review
Setting a sitcom in the world of gaming is not the most obvious move: your target audience might find it hard to put down the controller long enough to watch, while the premise is likely to alienate those who wouldn't know their Overwatch from their Runescape.
