The Unfriend review
Lee Mack bounces into serial-killer comedy.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
If you're looking for a few easy laughs and want to switch off for a couple of hours then head on down to the Wyndham's. Ultimately though, The Unfriend brings us nothing new. The cast are limited by a script that gives them no room to play.
Eliza Harris, West End Best Friend, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
Holiday friendships usually don't last beyond the sun and sangria, save for an annual Christmas card or occasional email, but Steven Moffat's comedy of manners, The Unfriend, explores what happens when things go a step further and that person you never expected to see again invites themselves to be a houseguest.
Greg Stewart, Theatre Weekly, 10th January 2024The Unfriend review
While the show has a strong cast, for the most part, The Unfriend would be better called The Unfunny. Even if it was curious enough to hold my attention throughout.
Chris Omaweng, London Theatre 1, 10th January 2024Would I Lie To You? is the only good panel show left
The BBC's panel show doesn't punch up, it doesn't punch down - it's wholesome, absurd fun.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th December 2023Lee Mack: middle-class snobs are killing sitcoms
As Not Going Out celebrates its 100th episode, its star hits out at TV bosses and the newspaper critics of a beloved British tradition.
Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times, 24th December 2023Not Going Out, 100th episode review
A hundred episodes is quite some achievement for any UK sitcom. But it also means Lee Mack's remarkably long-lived Not Going Out has come to feel like part of the furniture rather than appointment-to-view TV.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th December 2023Not Going Out, 100th episode review
The second longest-running British TV sitcom is starting to feel repetitive - but it's still a pleasant farce.
