Carol Midgley, The Times, 25th July 2023You've been Gregg'd! Why Gregg Wallace served the nation a slice of spoof on Channel 4

If Black Mirror were starved of subtlety.

Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 24th July 2023Gregg Wallace: The British Miracle Meat review
All is not what it seems in this profile of human meat factories - including toddler tartare canapes. It's a neat satire about the cost of living crisis, even if it is in no way subtle.

British Comedy Guide, 15th June 2023It is tough to predict what will work on TV. Exhibit A: the third series of this show, in which minor celebs play old-school video games against each other.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 12th February 2018Time to vigorously Vim down that lino as Harry Hill coaxes another famous face towards his comedy kitchenette. Donning the celebrity sous chef apron tonight is EastEnders star Jessie Wallace, who will be joining Harry in a menu encompassing senseless starters and demented desserts, including a tribute to La La Land.

Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 16th January 2018Radio Times review
Impressionist Lewis Macleod, the latest recruit to Dead Ringers, now gets his own show. Duncan Wisbey and Julian Dutton have contrived some fairly wacky situations to exploit their mate's best voices.
Morgan Freeman plays Fletcher in Porridge; Gregg Wallace sings a filthy love song to Mary Berry (Kate O'Sullivan); and a running gag has Benedict Cumberbatch turning up inopportunely to spout purple prose in the manner of Sherlock Holmes.
The show claims that Macleod has been hired to impersonate movie stars who refuse to re-record their inaudible lines. We want more details.
