Nightingales (Channel 4) is dark black comedy with a brilliantly starry cast. The effect makes you blink. The nucleus is three security guards, Robert Lindsay, David Threlfall and James Ellis. Channel 4 describes them as unconventional, which is like calling Dracula anaemic. They are raving.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 7th January 1993It is improving. The next Taking the Floor on April 8 is actually funny.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 26th March 1991Nightingales (Channel 4) is a ghoulish new comedy series by Paul Makin, which may have a limited but violently enthusiastic following. I personally will hit anyone who doesn't like it. If you can imagine The Young Ones grown up? Well, try harder then.
