Pandemonium review

BBC comedy is a valiant effort at exploring our current predicament.

Review: Pandemonium

As what's hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime disruptor, the coronavirus pandemic is an unusual hook for a sitcom's pilot episode. Lockdown is certainly not a 'sit' you'd want to return to time and again.

Pandemonium review

A testament to the tonic of laughter.

Pandemonium review

A lockdown comedy special with gallows humour.

Flora Carr, Radio Times, 30th December 2020

Preview: Pandemonium - Christmas Special 2020, BBC One

It seems a bit presumptious that this one-off comedy is billed as a Christmas special on the BBC website. It makes it sound as if it is following on from a hit series. But on the positive side Pandemonium feels so instantly accessible and so well-rounded that it could easily be following on from a hit series.
