Greed - The Devil is in the retail

Told in mockumentary style flashbacks, we see Coogan's McCreadie making his way in the fashion world and declaring his shops 'dreadful' using various obscenities.

Film review: Greed

Despite the censoring, Greed gets its message across, and leaves you thinking about it a long time after you walk out of the cinema - food for thought indeed.

Rhianna Evans, The Comedy Blog, 28th February 2020

Brendan O'Carroll's Irish mammy has bossed her way through radio plays, novels, stage shows, an unstoppable sitcom and a movie. So deploying her as a Saturday night chatshow host welcoming celebs into the Brown family lounge - a place where the fourth wall is regularly demolished - doesn't actually seem that weird. Pop prophet Louis Walsh, tennis matriarch Judy Murray and a presumably bemused Pamela Anderson are the first guests.

All Round To Mrs Brown's preview

This probably isn't going to be the saviour of Saturday night TV - and is less appealing than Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway - but it's a natural progression of the Agnes Brown 'brand' and, perhaps surprisingly, not as dire as the sitcom that spawned it. Is that progress?

All Round to Mrs Brown's review

The Saturday night entertainment series delivers exactly what you'd expect from the nation's most notorious mammy.

All Round to Mrs Brown's - review

Brendan O'Carroll agnostics will decry further airtime for the comedian as yet another indication that humanity has outlived its usefulness. But, in addition to a dirty mind, All Round to Mrs Brown's had a big heart and that made it just about tolerable.

Ed Power, The Telegraph, 25th March 2017

Preview - All Round to Mrs. Brown's

Love it or hate it, there is still at least one positive to take from it: it can't be any worse than The Nightly Show.

Radio Times review

Hang on - a few weeks ago, Miranda Hart appeared on the show to promote her new comedy-action film Spy, and tonight co-stars Jude Law and Melissa McCarthy show up too. Norton must really like that film. McCarthy became a top Hollywood leading woman after her role in Bridesmaids and has signed on to appear as Tinkerbell in a comedy about Peter Pan characters, which sounds promising. Chris Pratt is also invited, to discuss his role in Jurassic World.

Plus there's music from Florence + the Machine (remember them?) and at the comedy end of the sofa, John Bishop, who at the Baftas described the bearded Norton as looking like the love-child of Father Christmas and Louis Walsh. Harsh.

Simon Cowell's house on Through the Keyhole?

Keith Lemon says "I think he has an inherent hate for me. He always tells Louis Walsh off for coming on Celebrity Juice, as he wants them all to be taken seriously as judges."
