Royal Television Society, 15th November 2015Phoenix Nights film not happening says Paddy McGuinness
It's looking unlikely that the Peter Kay-led cast will be coming together for a feature length outing.
Natalie Corner, The Mirror, 3rd November 2015The evocative 1970s-set sitcom based on Danny Baker's upbringing in south-east London concludes with a double-bill. With his wavy hair and luxuriant eyebrows, young Danny belatedly realises that his resemblance to heartthrob David Essex might be a good way to pick up girls, while his wheeler-dealer dad Spud (Peter Kay) struggles with the demands of a new job. The cockney incarnation of Kay has been a revelation, but Lucy Speed - playing Danny's mother Bet - is this series' secret weapon, and she gets to shine in an eventful finale.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 15th October 2015TV review: Cradle To Grave, BBC2, Episode 7/8
I must admit I thought that Cradle to Grave might not have traded so much on being sentimental and a nostalgiafest, given Baker's obvious sophisticated wit and intelligence. But the former NME writer has gone for a populist touch here and it does work fantastically well. And Peter Kay, of course, certainly has the mainstream touch as amiable rogue Spud, which makes him pretty well cast.

Johnny Dee, The Guardian, 18th September 2015Danny Baker's cosy sitcom-memoir is starting to feel more like a TV show than a pile of anecdotes, with not quite so many gags you'd say were cliched or telegraphed if an unknown writer had invented them. Young Danny rashly agrees to buy a hot VCR - has he inherited the knack of quickly finding a few quid? Meanwhile, magic patriarch Fred tries to steal a shipment of sherry from under the noses of the docks' new jobsworth security guards. Peter Kay's south London accent is bedding in too, slowly.
