British Comedy Guide, 5th August 2021Sunday with Julian Barratt
The comedian usually settles for walking around Hampstead Heath, wearing clothes.
The Observer, 9th May 2021Bloods (Sky One) pairs Famalam's Samson Kayo with, bizarrely, Jane Horrocks, as a mismatched pair of paramedics. The opener has each of them struggling towards any kind of cultural rapport - he big and angry and avowedly from the 'hood, she librarian-kind and mousy and determinedly from the suburbs of somewhere northern. It somehow works as comedy, if of the sweeter rather than distinctly darker kind. Hugely helped by the outlying cast, particularly Lucy Motherland Punch as the boss with an unrequited crush on sad widower Julian Barratt. Who would (quite inexplicably) rather cry into his pint than jump her bones.

Samson Kayo outshines Jane Horrocks in this odd-couple comedy.
