Noel Clarke on his anger at being left off film poster
The actor Noel Clarke has spoken out about a failure to include his image on the poster for hit comedy Fisherman's Friends. The 2019 film - about a motley band of coastal singers - has just been distributed on home entertainment platforms, with the same promotional image as was used for theatrical release.
Catherine Shoard, The Guardian, 29th May 2020Review: Fisherman's Friends
Undemanding, cockle-warming British comedy inspired by a singing sensation.
James Mottram, The List, 11th March 2019Fisherman's Friends review
Anyone who's listened to the Fisherman's Friends, whether live or on the radio in the car, will know what a treat they are to listen to, and the film is a fine platform for their talents. The injection of a rather soppy romance and some drama about big businessmen buying a pub does distract, but when the film turns its focus solely on the titular musicians, it's a dead cert to entertain existing fans and win over plenty more.

Filming has begun on new British movie Fisherman's Friends. The comedy focuses on the true story of a group of singing fishermen who land a record deal.
British Comedy Guide, 9th May 2018Inside No 9 series 4 episode 5 review
And The Winner Is ... is simply a good joke, simply told. Yes, there are darker episodes. Yes, there are ones that are more obviously fiendishly clever. But this may well be the one you keep returning to, re-watching for the sheer hell of it. 'Can't wait to see what you do next,' says Woolgar's reviewer at one point.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 31st January 2018Inside No. 9: And The Winner Is... preview
Inside No 9 has been nominated for enough awards in its time - scooping one only yesterday - which may explain how Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's minds came to be drawn to what happens in the jury rooms where such things are decided.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: a sly skewering of the TV industry
Screen stories about juries often thrive on tension and suspense. But Inside No 9's latest episode shuns nail-biting matters of life and death in favour of a more shallow enterprise.
Mark Butler, i Newspaper, 30th January 2018Inside No 9 review: rare weak point in fantastic series
As mentioned, Inside No 9 is an anthology series which means that we should expect the odd miss to go with every hit. And the Winner Is... was more of a misjudgement than a series-ending catastrophe.
Benji Wilson, The Telegraph, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9: Series 4, Episode 5 - And the Winner Is...
While it was well acted, it lacked something that makes the episode truly stand out. It is a good episode in its own right, but among the rest of the brilliant Series 4 it felt a bit down.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 30th January 2018Inside No. 9 series 4 episode 5 review
Inside No. 9 does well-observed industry satire in its latest episode.
