Inside No. 9 review
The whole tale was so arch it was bent double. But no one has said 'bomb' in such a silly accent since the Pink Panther movies. I defy you not to snigger.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 11th May 2021Starstruck review
Though it is sometimes too ready to stoop for cheap laughs, Starstruck will leave you yearning to know if Tom and Jessie get back together.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 27th April 2021Frank Of Ireland review
All they've achieved so far feels like a remake of Dumb And Dumber, starring Mrs Brown's Boys.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 16th April 2021Two Ronnies make modern lefty comics look like toddlers
Fifty years after their incomparable TV show began, Christopher Stevens celebrates the genius of The Two Ronnies... and argues they make today's Left-wing 'comedians' look like foul-mouthed toddlers.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 14th April 2021Celebrity Juice review
Zero starsThis asinine panel game requires nothing from its players apart from four-letter rants and disgusting anecdotes about sex. Despite this, every round is heavily scripted and edited, so that it manages to combine potty-mouthed witlessness with a complete lack of spontaneity.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 9th April 2021Meet The Richardsons review
Until today's comics grow out of the puerile urge to swear for laughs, there can never be another truly funny sitcom. Foul language kills good comedy. It ditches the need for wit or clever characters, and replaces them with an easy spatter of obscenity. Meet The Richardsons (Dave) is a prime example.

As easy as keeping a cushion spinning on a finger.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 19th March 2021Stand Up And Deliver review
When I watch stand-up on TV, I can never shake the feeling that I'm staring through a tiny window at a figure far away.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 26th February 2021Back review
Whether you can stomach the lurches from pitch-black humour about mental illness to banter about fizzy drinks in the bar depends chiefly on how much you enjoy Mitchell and Webb as a sitcom double act. Fans of their previous series, Peep Show, might love it. I can't say I do.

It's going in circles... down the plughole.
