Changing Ends review

Each scene is a showcase for Savell, who even upstages the real Alan who pops in as narrator now and again.

The week in TV: Changing Ends

Changing Ends clearly wants to avoid being angst-ridden, but there's a dark thread here involving historical homophobia towards a spirited, vulnerable boy that keeps wriggling through.

Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 4th June 2023

Changing Ends review

Changing Ends beams with warmth despite - or more likely because of - the endemic 1980s homophobia which forms its backdrop. Dropped into this world, like a naive alien, is a camp, buck-toothed, socially awkward child, misunderstood by almost everyone and ostracised by most of them.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 1st June 2023

Changing Ends review

A laugh-out-loud autobiographical comedy with a lot of heart.
