Peter Kay's Car Share, TV review
The perfect vehicle for Kay's comic talents.
Ellen E. Jones, The Independent, 26th April 2015Why you must jump into Car Share on BBC One
Peter Kay's newest venture is a return to sitcom. Car Share which, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on is getting an airing on the iPlayer before starting on BBC One on Wednesday, might be my favourite new BBC comedy for a long time.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st April 2015TV preview: Peter Kay's Car Share - BBC One
Northern wag's new project is like The Royle Family in a motor.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 20th April 2015The BBC has taken the slightly odd decision to premiere this new Peter Kay sitcom on the iPlayer before its eventual transfer to BBC1. The concept is simple: Kay's John and his colleague Kayleigh have been paired up as part of their company's travel buddy scheme. What sparks will fly? It's best at its most humdrum: the idea of a woman squirting urine all over her driver on the first day is a stretch but as the relationship begins to breathe, a more sweetly naturalistic atmosphere develops. Worth sticking with, although it's hard to avoid the blatantly looming romantic subtext.
