Michael Hodges, Radio Times, 20th April 2017Forget Peter Kay. Car share with Miriam Margolyes
Two days after the return of Peter Kay's sitcom-with-seatbelts, Car Share, the BBC decides it's the perfect time to launch another on-the-road comedy starring a bickering couple stuck behind the wheel.
As a piece of scheduling incompetence, it's impressive. But I don't suppose Frog Stone, the writer and co-star of Bucket (BBC4), is applauding. She must feel like a Robin Reliant being bullied off the road by Peter Kay's juggernaut.
The real pity is that Bucket is a much funnier show. It has bawdy jokes, a proper plot and a mother-daughter relationship that isn't so much dysfunctional as dangerously unhinged.

British Comedy Guide, 17th November 2016Miriam & Ezra Elia's response to Penguin books
Some say I was beggared by an act of corporate vandalism. Others that I have been duped, exploited, and sold into copyright slavery. But the simple fact is that Penguin Books are right. They were right to threaten me with legal action when I first released We Go to the Gallery, and right also to force me to pulp all remaining copies of the first edition. They were right to call my work morally bankrupt (which it is), and infer that it would corrupt the minds of young children (which it certainly has). They were right also to lie about the fact they owned the copyright to the original illustrations, because to do good, sometimes you have to be bad.
