Hang Ups, episode 1 review

Real therapists will roll their eyes but this comedy is a wonderfully ribald treat.

Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 9th August 2018

Hang Ups episode 1 review

With a strong core cast, an impressive roster of guest stars and an interesting style unlike anything else on British television, Hang Ups is an enjoyable watch.

Hang Ups episode 1 review

Stephen Mangan's semi-improvised Channel 4 comedy Hang Ups is a circus of silliness and human pain...

Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 9th August 2018

TV: Hang Ups, Channel 4

Boy oh boy that Stephen Mangan has a hell of a work ethic.

GameFace is the funniest sitcom of the year - review

So how about that bold claim that GameFace is 2017's best new homegrown sitcom? Well, its only serious rivals have been Mitchell and Webb's Back, parenting satire Motherland and rural mockumentary This Country. GameFace arguably out-laughed and out-charmed them all. It even ended on a sweetly optimistic note. Let's hope the second series doesn't take another three years.

Sick Note is already showing signs of heart failure

Amazingly, Sick Note has been commissioned for a second series, which will star Lindsay Lohan as the daughter of Daniel's boss. I can't say I have high hopes - she is hardly the sort of actor you want administering the kiss of life to a programme already showing serious signs of heart failure.

Gameface preview

It's probably impossible to review Roisin Conaty's Gameface without mentioning the F-word: Fleabag.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th October 2017

TV review: GameFace, E4, Episode 2

By one of those quirks of scheduling one of the storylines in the second episode of GameFace is very similar to a subplot in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode which just went out.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 12th October 2017

TV review: GameFace, E4

If you are the kind of person who doesn't watch E4 because you think it is a bit too youthy, then make an exception for GameFace, the new series written by and starring Roisin Conaty.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 10th October 2017
