The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
I'm delighted to say it's an absolute hoot. A rip-roaringly silly absolute hoot.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd August 2023Back review
Return of sibling-rivalry comedy with Mitchell and Webb.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 22nd January 2021Back series two review
To judge the new series of Back on the strength of its first episode would be like ruling on a movie on the first 20 minutes. For while the show is certainly funny, the main aim of creator Simon Blackwell is to set the wheels in motion for a captivating psychodrama that will play out over the following five weeks.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st January 2021Back review
Mitchell and Webb's return is well worth the wait.
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 21st January 2021Back review
This gaslighting comedy is a joy to watch.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 21st January 2021Semi-Detached review
Lee Mack as a wedding DJ having a midlife crisis? It sounds naff, but it's like Birdman - if Birdman were set in a cream sitting room.
Joel Golby, The Guardian, 8th August 2020TV review: Semi-Detached, BBC Two
It's interesting that this is on BBC Two because it's really only a whisker away from being a mainstream BBC One sitcom.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 6th August 2020Semi-Detached with Lee Mack review
The gimmick of Lee Mack's new sitcom is that all the action happens in real time - though whether audiences would appreciate, or even notice, the restriction that writers David Crow and Oliver Maltman have imposed on themselves remains to be seen.
