Jerk review

There's the core of a great idea here, poking fun at the sort of people who panic when they meet anyone with a serious disability. But a subject so sensitive needs clever, imaginative writing - not pratfalls and sight gags about walking frames.

Sliced review

When this comedy launched two years ago, I called it 'filthy but funny'. The foul language has been dialled down a notch. Not so filthy now -- and still funny.

This show has become much more than a series of skits at the school gates. I hope it runs for years.
