Nick Levine, NME, 8th June 2020Movie review - Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019)
Minor-key and understated to a fault, Days of the Bagnold Summer is an accomplished directorial debut for Bird.
Tom Beasley, Flickering Myth, 7th June 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer review
If, like me, you are a huge appreciator of comic books and the music of Belle and Sebastian then Simon Bird's directorial debut is an easy sell.
Rich Johnson, The Digital Fix, 5th June 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer review
Earl Cave and Monica Dolan are a delight in this charming comedy directed by The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 4th June 2020Uncle: subversive comedy makes life a little less bleak
It may seem like a regular odd-couple premise, but this undersung BBC series is fresh and inventive. And that's before you get to the musical numbers.
Clem Bastow, The Guardian, 24th March 2020Days Of The Bagnold Summer review
Days Of The Bagnold Summer is an endearing, accessible film for anyone who's struggled through puberty, or, indeed, struggled to connect with a family member going through it.
Jay Richardson, Chortle, 5th March 2020Review, Uncle, BBC3, Episode 4
I have a confession to make. I'd slightly gone off Uncle this time round, which is why my reviews have been running late. Watching it - previously so much fun - had started to feel like a chore and I wondered where the plot as going. But I take it all back. I was rather blown away by this latest episode.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd January 2017Review: Uncle, BBC3, episode 2
This is just a quick heads up to remind people to watch the third series of Uncle, which looks like it is going to build to a nice - or maybe not so nice? - romantic finale in a few weeks.
