Review: Get Duked!
A silly stoner comedy about teen delinquents bumbling their way across the Highlands contains every bit of the stupidity and hijinks you'd expect. All with major style.
Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting, 26th August 2020Get Duked! review
In this busy British comedy, four teenagers are dumped in the Scottish Highlands, where they spiral into high jinks and danger.
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times, 26th August 2020Movie review - Get Duked! (2019)
In its own slippery game of generational cat and mouse, Doff's film is one that brazenly revels in absurdity; unashamedly committing to increasingly implausible sub-plots involving bread thieves, dim-witted police prejudice and the sharpness of forks.

British Comedy Guide, 19th August 2020One and done: Vic and Bob's Lucky Sexy Winners
Being a huge fan of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer meant that before watching this 2012 pilot from the duo I presumed by the end of it I'd be shaking my fist at the injustice of it not being given a full series, and indeed that was the case. It's not as if Vic and Bob are exactly newcomers to tv either, presumably Channel 4 knew exactly what they'd be getting from the deranged duo and so it feels odd that it wasn't picked up.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 18th August 2020Get Duked! review
What surely would have made a good reality-TV series - three juvenile delinquents from the big city, plus an awkward kid with no friends, are dropped in the Scottish Highlands and left to find their way back to civilization - works even better as a dark comedy goof when a couple of lunatics start shooting at them from afar.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th July 2020Comedy Without Borders review
Eddie Izzard and stand-ups from India, Australia and beyond roast fake news and bust coronavirus taboos in an entertaining if patchy webcam variety fundraiser for frontline medics.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 15th May 2020Golden oldies: Britain's best vintage comedy
The best old sitcoms, stand up and stars of the silver screen are just what the nation needs to get us through these long housebound days - not everything on Netflix is notable, and Amazon Prime is hit and miss. So why not do yourself a favour, and when next looking for something to bring a smile to your face, take a trip back in time to see some of Britain's best comedy.
