Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 12th August 2018Hang Ups episode 1 review
Stephen Mangan's semi-improvised Channel 4 comedy Hang Ups is a circus of silliness and human pain...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 9th August 2018Hang Ups review: a very funny wake up call
The series is hilarious but sheds light on some serious issues that will hit home for millennials.
Molli Mitchell, The Daily Express, 9th August 2018TV: Hang Ups, Channel 4
Boy oh boy that Stephen Mangan has a hell of a work ethic.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 8th August 2018Hang Ups review
Mangan stars in a remake of Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy and manages the rarest of TV feats: a UK adaptation that's every bit as good as the US original.

British Comedy Guide, 18th May 2018Miranda Hart's clumsy, excitable persona with her foghorn laugh is a welcome antidote to the current convention that all women are superior beings. But since quitting Call The Midwife and ending her self-titled sitcom, her TV appearances have been hit-and-miss.
She shone as the compere of the Royal Variety Performance. But in Miranda Does Christmas (C4), a one-off chatshow with Prue Leith, Susan Calman and David Tennant, she was all over the place -- and several days too late.
We had Christmas quizzes, and banter about favourite carols, and every guest was treated to a silly gift. Prue got a painting by a David Hockney (not the artist, just a bloke with the same name). David got a Doctor Who doll.
A choir delivered a medley of Christmas Number Ones, and Miranda led everyone in a conga. 'Such fun,' she shrieked. No, it wasn't. It was the TV equivalent of a three-day-old turkey sandwich.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 28th December 2017It wouldn't be Christmas without Miranda Hart raising a mince pie and falling over. Here, she harks back to the simple days of childhood when the festive season was fun, and heads out on to the streets to spread joy. Back in the studio, guests including David Tennant, Sam Smith and Prue Leith get the Miranda treatment. If that sounds like hell, don't wait around for the gospel choir singing a Christmas mashup.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 27th December 2017Miranda Does Christmas review: the jollity felt forced
The worst moment was probably the outbreak of festive dancing at the front of the stage, which was about as embarrassing as a disco with your relatives in the living room.
