British Comedy Guide, 1st October 2019TV review: Frayed, Sky One
It's funny but one senses by the end of the first episode, that maybe like those monologues, there is something darker lurking under the surface.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th September 2019Frayed, Sky One, review
Despite a wobbly start, Frayed shows huge potential and while the jokes are few, they are funny.
Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 26th September 2019Frayed, episode one, review
A pungent Eighties-set comedy that doesn't know how far to take the joke.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 26th September 2019Anna Maxwell Martin - last seen giving Superintendent Hastings an almighty tongue-lashing in series five of Line of Duty - reprises her altogether different role in this wonderfully shambolic comedy: as a perpetually struggling middle-class mother shunned by the PTA and entirely unsupported by her husband. Happily, Diane Morgan also returns as the mellow, completely hands-off mum Liz, while Sherlock's Tanya Moodie joins the fold as Meg, who causes a stir at the school gates.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 31st August 2019Weirdy-beardy panel show regular Joe Wilkinson co-writes (with David Earl) and stars in this new three-part sitcom set on the Isle of Wight, a relatively untapped comedic setting. He plays Simon, nervously preparing to celebrate his 40th birthday by taking his girlfriend Donna (Diane Morgan) back to his childhood home to meet his daffy mum (Sue Johnston) and overbearing stepdad (Bobby Ball), unaware that his biological father (Nigel Havers) is also keen to elbow in on the fun.

British Comedy Guide, 3rd June 2019TV review: After Life
Ricky Gervais has completely shaken up our perceptions of what he is capable of with his latest series After Life, showing how this comic can do heart-breaking as well as hilarious.
