British Comedy Guide, 28th June 2023TV review: Wreck, BBC Three, iPlayer
Comedy has clearly taken a turn for the dark lately. There's the domestic horror of Am I Being Unreasonable? and now here comes sexy slasher Wreck sailing into port. It's more thriller than sitcom but I suspect it is aimed at young comedy fans as well as young horror fans.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th October 2022Wreck: a killer duck on a cruise ship? This is TV I can get on board with
This camp comedy caper about students being picked off by a quacking killer is fun - but it could leave you feeling very old indeed.

British Comedy Guide, 1st March 2022Ladhood Series 3 confirmed
BBC Three has confirmed a third series of Ladhood, the sitcom written by and starring Liam Williams.
British Comedy Guide, 9th September 2021Back for a second six-part series, Ladhood (BBC One) is a wry comedy, that started out on Radio 4, from Edinburgh comedy award-winning Liam Williams. In it, he ponders, usually standing in the actual scene, the preposterous antics of his teenage self, swaggering and sulking with his mates around Garforth, Leeds. The older Liam (Williams himself) appears to be trying to ascertain where young Liam (Oscar Kennedy) stops and adult Liam begins.
In the opening episode (all are available to stream), adult Liam has been (rightly) dumped by his girlfriend and messes up a date, which is prime Ladhood territory. It's a little like The Inbetweeners, in terms of youthful friendships, but with no "posh" characters, a period-vibe (hello again, Myspace) and a throbbing vein of male rage: Liam has anger issues, and a reputation for kicking bins. At times, Ladhood is funny (the Young Liam sections especially have a strong surrounding cast), with deft observations on such matters as sex, driving tests and trying to befriend "the indie lot". I still can't work out whether Williams pities or envies his younger self, but perhaps that's the whole point.
Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 22nd August 2021Ladhood review
The stultifying reality of a suburban adolescence is evoked in this Leeds-based comedy to brilliantly cruel effect.
