Semi-Detached review
Lee Mack as a wedding DJ having a midlife crisis? It sounds naff, but it's like Birdman - if Birdman were set in a cream sitting room.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 6th August 2020Semi-Detached with Lee Mack review
The gimmick of Lee Mack's new sitcom is that all the action happens in real time - though whether audiences would appreciate, or even notice, the restriction that writers David Crow and Oliver Maltman have imposed on themselves remains to be seen.

Patrick Cremona, Radio Times, 5th August 2020Semi-Detatched review
The 20-minute pilot first aired 18 months ago but resurfaced last night to herald a full series, launching in early August. It's hilarious, and very welcome as a new outlet for Lee Mack's comic genius.
