Don't Forget the Driver review

This new dark-comedy has bags of promise and potential.

Review: Don't Forget the Driver

Don't Forget The Driver sets out to portray both the beauty and ugliness of small-town Britain but in doing so separately can often feel like a mixed bag, when in real life, and in the series in its better moments, these things can overlap or even be one in the same.

BBC Landmark Sitcom Season: the pilots review

In my last post I looked at three of the sitcom revivals that the BBC have produced but alongside these pieces, this new season also includes five new sitcom pilots. Over the next two weeks, all five of these shows will air and in this article I will pass judgement on them all.

Matt Donnelly, The Custard TV, 6th September 2016

Tess (EastEnders' Tanya Franks) and husband Toby (Peep Show's Paterson Joseph) have three adopted children, a point that is rather laboured in this comedy pilot. Even when it's not hammering home the adoption setup - the kids are adopted, by the way - the gags are a bit of an effort, particularly for Joseph, who really heaves them out. (Adopted) daughter Frankie, played by Erin Kellyman, is a highlight, however.

TV preview: The Coopers vs The Rest

Overall, the confident, funny writing and likeable performances all round make it a pleasure to meet the Coopers. After the travesty of remaking Are You Being Served?, the BBC could have a hit on their hands with this, the first of three pilots getting an airing in its Landmark Sitcom season.
