Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th April 2019Man Down review
The end of the fourth series of Man Down had plenty to get your teeth into, with chaos, comedy and pathos all thrown in.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 29th November 2017TV review: Man Down, C4
Greg Davies returns for a fourth series of Man Down and I sense a bit of a theme emerging. He has previously had a run-in with a turkey and in the first episode of the new run of this tragic, anarchic sitcom he has an oversized chicken thrown at him. But that is just a small indignity compared to some of his other issues in this opening instalment.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th October 2017Review: Prevenge on DVD & Blu-Ray

Paul Holmes, The Velvet Onion, 18th October 2016Prevenge - review
Prevenge was screened in the 'laughs' comedy strand of the London Film Festival, but the humour in Alice Lowe's directorial debut most definitely of the jet-black tone. Its tone is bleak and unnerving, with only the occasional dry comic moment offering relief from the brutal actions of its serial-killing anti-heroine, Ruth.
