Jo Brand to front special benefit gig for Helen Griffin

Jo Brand is to front a special night in memory of much-loved actor, writer and activist Helen Griffin.

Going Forward: Jo Brand shines but sitcom needs nursing

This was another comedy about broken Britain, but focusing not on those who toil inside a knackered state institution but the wider social fabric, privatised to buggery but somehow doddering on. Homelier and gentler and patchier than Getting On, it somehow lacks its asperity but also its poetry.

Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 19th May 2016
