TV review: Code 404 series 1 episode 1
Perhaps it's due to my love for this kind of near future shenanigans but as well as making me laugh I was gripped by the storyline and really can't wait to see how it plays out.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 30th April 2020Code 404 review
Sky's had a pretty good run with its comedy commissions lately, thanks to the likes of Breeders and Intelligence, and Code 404 - named after the 'page not found' error in internet protocols - is a solid and stupid addition to that decent slate.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th April 2020Not Going Out: Halloween Special review
Despite the growing popularity of trick or treat, special Halloween episodes of British sitcoms are still relatively rare.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th October 2019TV preview: Not Going Out Halloween Special, BBC One
Is Lee Mack trying to muscle in on Inside No 9 territory? This Halloween edition of the enduring light-hearted domestic sitcom has scarier ambitions than usual. It is even scheduled later than it usually goes out. Although don't worry too much about the kids having nightmares. I'm sure they watch nastier stuff on their phones in bed.

British Comedy Guide, 4th January 2017Lee Mack and Daniel Peak's sitcom mainstay lands itself an extended Christmas slot to close off the current series, providing ample time for Lee and Lucy to encounter some supersized escapades. Lee is dragged along for a boisterous night out with his boozehound of a dad, leading to predictably calamitous consequences, not to mention some surprisingly sensuous sashaying to Whitney Houston's finest three minutes. If that's not enough, a compilation of outtakes from the series goes out at 11.05pm on Saturday.
Mark Jones, The Guardian, 19th December 2014How many gags can you think of about suppositories?
Not as many as Lee Mack and his writing partner Daniel Peak, I'll bet.
Recurring guest star Bobby Ball, who plays Lee's errant father Frank, returns tonight for an episode crammed full of buttock-clenching humour.
Frank's got both his arms and legs in plaster after being hit by a bus and he's looking for a roof over his head, as well as a little pain relief and TLC.
But there's no love lost between father and son and Lee wouldn't touch his dad with a barge pole at the best of times.
I can't help thinking that a lot of unpleasantness could probably have been avoided if landlady Lucy had just bought paracetamol in the first place.
