'The worst film ever made': how Sex Lives Of The Potato Men broke British cinema
When the puerile comedy bombed, the film-makers blamed the critics and the Tories blamed the UK Film Council. Twenty years on, we reassess the legacy of a cinematic pariah whose champions include Stewart Lee and Mike Leigh.
Fergal Kinney, The Guardian, 20th February 2024Review: The Unfriend
Lee Mack and Frances Barber excel in Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat's comedy.
Gabriel Curteis, A Young(ish) Perspective, 12th January 2024The Unfriend review
Headed by new faces Lee Mack and Sarah Alexander, a refreshed cast for The Unfriend has now been unwrapped and let loose on this comedy but it is still one of the biggest headscratchers in the West End.
Franco, Theatre & Tonic, 11th January 2024The Unfriend review
The Unfriend is a perfect night out at the theatre if what you need is uncontrollable laughter. You'll not only chuckle your heart out, but also be invested in an expertly written comic storyline that is a must-see.
James Robertson, The Reviews Hub, 11th January 2024The Unfriend review
Lee Mack is in his element in Steven Moffat's comedy of manners.
Olivia Rook, London Theatre, 11th January 2024Review: The Unfriend
The comedy of embarrassment returns, but wastes much of its talents on a script that gets its share of laughs but never quite adds up.
Gary Naylor, Broadway World, 11th 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
The Unfriend makes for an enjoyable night out, especially for fans of the cast members who want to see them in a familiar role.
Rachel Creeger, Funny Women, 10th January 2024Julia Davis and others on the sublime 'sick-com' Nighty Night
As the gloriously despicable comedy turns 20, its creator and stars open up about shocking hate mail, being too scared to tell their parents they were in it - and George Michael's wild Jill impression.
Daniel Dylan Wray, The Guardian, 5th January 2024Theatre review: The Motive And The Cue
Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn play, respectively, Sir John Gielgud and Richard Burton.
