Harry and Paul were ruddy good
So Ruddy Hell, it's Harry and Paul has ended and we can finally reach a verdict.
Mike Anderiesz, The Guardian, 21st May 2007Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul Review
Descending from plain old boringly unfunny to actual cringing embarrassment with sketches like The Computer Billionaires and Laurel and Hardy in Brokeback Mountain made me want to desert this sinking ship along with the rats.
John Beresford, TV Scoop, 14th April 2007Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul Review
A bibulous and joyful reunion of witty chums, and more power to its elbow. Mine's another, if you're going to the bar.
Paul Stump, Off The Telly, 13th April 2007Laughing down the line
Now and again, Radio 4 does something quirky, funny and totally amazing, as one of its current comedy shows attests.
Brian Whitaker, The Guardian, 24th January 2007Joke's over for the phony phone-in
Radio is not so short of comedy that it needs to accommodate vanity projects, and its audience will make up its own mind, without benefit of publicity stunts, whether Down the Line is good enough to stay.
Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 16th May 2006Gotcha! Whitehouse and Higson Interview
Not for the first time, Radio 4 listeners are up in arms. The cause is a 'sexist', 'racist', 'rubbish' phone-in show called Down the Line. But we've been had. As G2 can reveal, it's a spoof - from the creators of The Fast Show.
Stephen Moss, The Guardian, 12th May 2006It can only be hoped that Help can maintain the high standard set out by this opening episode. With Chris Langham and Paul Whitehouse - who also penned the series - at the helm, we can almost be assured this will be the case.
Lee Madge, Off The Telly, 27th February 2005Elsewhere, on the evidence of episode one alone, it's hard to know what to make of Happiness (BBC2), Paul Whitehouse's midlife-crisis comedy-drama. There's precious little happiness, and only brief smatterings of (genuinely funny) comedy in it, but there is plenty of angst.
