British Comedy Guide, 13th November 2018The Windsors Royal Wedding Special review
Bert Tyler-Moore and George Jeffrie's ruthless comedy is a reminder that you can get away with a lot as long as you are funny.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 16th May 2018The Windsors, series 2 episode 3 review
A breezy cross between a revenge tragedy, a Carry On film and an episode of Dynasty.
Ben Lawrence, The Telegraph, 19th July 2017Channel 4 comedy series The Windsors to return for Series 2
Channel 4 comedy show The Windsors is to return for a second series. Six new episodes will be filmed for broadcast in 2017.
British Comedy Guide, 3rd June 2016The Windsors, Channel 4, review
There's some mildly subversive satire in there if you look hard enough.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 7th May 2016Super-silly sitcom about the royal family from the creators of Star Stories, Bert Tyler Moore and George Jeffrie. The gags bang and whoosh like a New Year's Eve fireworks display and W1A's Hugh Skinner is outstanding (and somehow even posher than before) as Prince William, backed up nicely by Harry Enfield as a mildly demented Prince Charles and Haydn Gwynne as a conniving Camilla. The result is quite joyfully daft throughout. Knighthoods all round.
Julia Raeside, The Guardian, 6th May 2016Review: The Windsors
There are some neat, if not side-splitting, lines and enjoyably daft premises, but the show never really takes off. A lot of the scenes have a touch of the Spitting Image about them for sure - but what works as sketch doesn't necessarily sustain for a full narrative.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th May 2016The Windsors - a real blast of punk comedy
I'm not bang up to date on treasonous acts and how to avoid them, but the writers and cast of The Windsors probably shouldn't expect an invitation to a Buckingham Palace garden party any time soon.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 6th May 2016Preview: The Windsors
The Windsors isn't going to win any awards for subtlety and the writers certainly aren't going to win any knighthoods, but if you like seeing royal poshos royally sent up this should put a smile on your face.
