Radio Times, 20th January 2015Radio Times review
Hal Cruttenden is unashamedly middle-class, which makes his humour a perfect match for Radio 4.

It's tough to make an impact in the first episode of a new sitcom, but I laughed out loud, several times, and the supporting cast, including Ed Byrne and Ronni Ancona, is top-notch.
