Review: Pandemonium
As what's hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime disruptor, the coronavirus pandemic is an unusual hook for a sitcom's pilot episode. Lockdown is certainly not a 'sit' you'd want to return to time and again.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th December 2020Pandemonium review
A lockdown comedy special with gallows humour.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 30th December 2020Preview: Pandemonium - Christmas Special 2020, BBC One
It seems a bit presumptious that this one-off comedy is billed as a Christmas special on the BBC website. It makes it sound as if it is following on from a hit series. But on the positive side Pandemonium feels so instantly accessible and so well-rounded that it could easily be following on from a hit series.

Pandemonium, a sitcom starring Katherine Parkinson, Jim Howick, Alison Steadman and Tom Basden is coming to BBC One this Christmas.
British Comedy Guide, 24th November 2020Review: Taskmaster
Taskmaster dumps Dave for C4.... and - hooray - is as silly as ever!
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 16th October 2020Taskmaster wins 1.7million viewers for Channel 4
That figure is roughly in line with what the show scored on Dave when catch-up viewing was also counted - which means the show is sure to grow its audience with the change in broadcaster, once on-demand requests are also counted. Channel 4 has also hailed the fact that the show won its 9pm slot among the key 16-34 year-old demographic.
Chortle, 16th October 2020TV review: Taskmaster, C4
First episode, as thoroughly entertaining as ever.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th October 2020Taskmaster series 10 review
Channel 4's task in poaching Dave's best programme was simple: don't screw it up. And by barely changing a single thing for Taskmaster's tenth series, they passed with flying colours.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th October 2020Taskmaster review - a delightfully daft diversion
Sure, test and trace might be more medically useful, but would it be as much fun? Take your pleasures where you can.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 15th October 2020Taskmaster, series 10, review
So much fun, you could almost forget the pandemic.
