British Comedy Guide, 9th February 2024This week's Big TV: Ten Percent
Nevermind the deja vu - Ten Percent, the UK remake of Call My Agent, is formidable.
Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 29th April 2022Ten Percent, Amazon Prime review
A hit and miss British makeover of the French comedy Call My Agent.
Helen Hawkins, The Arts Desk, 28th April 2022Ten Percent review
Gentle Call My Agent remake rambles along benignly - but has a seductive quality.
Nick Hilton, The Independent, 25th April 2022Ten Percent, review
The British Call My Agent has star power - but where's the bite?
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 25th April 2022The Duke review
The latest entry in the 'truth is stranger than fiction' genre is The Duke - the final feature from versatile director, the late Roger Michell. This is the story of the improbably named Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent), an irascible campaigner for pensioners' rights, women's suffrage and, in his spare time, a would-be playwright. Quite why his script The Adventures Of Susan Christ never found an audience is anybody's guess.
Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 10th March 2022The Duke review
Jim Broadbent excels in true tale of art-stealing pensioner, writers Mark Kermode.
Mark Kermode, The Observer, 27th February 2022Movie review: The Duke
Comfortingly old-fashioned and cosy comedy fare.
Damon Smith, Breaking News Ireland, 25th February 2022
