Review: The Producers

Jason Manford steals top billing as the straight-laced and occasionally regressive number cruncher Leo Bloom but it is his double act with English, as the seedy, pensioner romancing 'Bialy', which provides the perfect odd couple take to proceedings.

Radio Times review

If variety should offer sights you never thought you'd see, this episode is a triumph. Among the entertainments is Jason Manford tap-dancing, a troupe of performing budgerigars and a Chinese group doing a "dance of a thousand hands" that would mesmerise Busby Berkeley himself.

Unlike the rest of the week on ITV, nobody here is buzzered off or pleading for the public to vote for them. They're just good. On the downside, pianist Lang Lang hooks up with Croatian duo 2Cellos for a clattering, bull-in-a-china-shop cover of Live and Let Die. Paul McCartney should sue.
