British Comedy Guide, 6th December 2018Hugh Grant reveals plans for a sequel to Four Weddings
Before you get too excited, the actor did describe it as a "sequel-ette", so we definitely won't be getting a full-length film sequel, but it does seem that at least one new scene is being planned.
Susannah Alexander, Digital Spy, 21st October 2018Ali G vs Trump - and other inspired spoof interviews
Fifteen years ago, when Donald Trump was merely a business tycoon and not the most controversial US president since Nixon, he found himself face to face with Sacha Baron Cohen's cult comedy alter-ego: aspiring UK rapper Ali G.

Paddington 2 and The Death Of Stalin have been nominated for two awards each at the BAFTA Film Awards 2018.
British Comedy Guide, 9th January 2018Review: Paddington 2
Well, well, a sequel that is even more fun than its predecessor. It doesn't often happen but Paddington 2 manages to shift the stale marmalade sandwiches from 2014 to deliver a pacy, enjoyable adventure, which boasts a cameo cast that is like a who's who of British acting talent.
Gareth Hargreaves, On The Box, 13th November 2017Paddington 2 review
When you witness some of the absolute dross that passes for 'family entertainment' these days, it's reassuring to see something as lovingly crafted as this. The next question? Can they do it a third time? Well, that remains to be seen. Meanwhile, this will do very nicely indeed.
Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 12th November 2017In Paddington 2, Hugh Grant plays a villainous, ageing west London-based actor whose best years are behind him. So absolutely not like the real-life Grant, whose roles have actually been rather interesting since a potential career derailment 20 years ago. Will the nation's favourite bear give Grant's Phoenix Buchanan a very hard stare? Also joining Norton is the triple Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 10th November 2017Paddington 2 - bear-faced chic and lots of it
Superior sequel features terrific slapstick and a very funny turn from Hugh Grant.
