TV review: Outsiders, Dave
I don't know whether C4 will poach this like they did with the Greg Davies/Alex Horne show, but if there is a badge for making comics go way beyond their comfort zone in the name of entertainment Outsiders definitely deserves one.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 29th September 2021Outsiders review
There are strong Taskmaster vibes to Outsiders, with contestants challenged to take on various trials by an unyielding authority figure who rates their variously awful, but occasionally brilliant, attempts.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th September 2021Why BBC's Ghosts doesn't need a fourth season

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2020Episode three of the risible clip show - think You've Been Framed meets Rude Tube, but sports-themed - features segments including "humans balancing things on their head". While such shows usually come with a "don't try this at home" warning, getting into your own minor accident would likely be more fun.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 10th August 2019John Thomson and Jessica Knappett add so much comedy as hosts Jack Bullman and Nicky Brimble that it would be a crime to dismiss this clipshow as just another web-style mash-up. This time out we enjoy hilarious footage of Self-Inflicted Nunchuck Thwacks and Heavyweight Supercar Exiting.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 3rd August 2019It might sound like a corny clip show, but this spoof-fest hosted by "Jack Bullman" (John Thomson) and "Nicky Brimble" (Jessica Knappett) in which "everything is a sport and anyone can be crowned a champion" turns out to be a funny mash-up of made-up sports from horse football to "dog-sticking".
