Jacob Stolworthy, The Independent, 3rd September 2024Why classic TV shows are returning - as podcasts
Audio reboots aren't just fun and fast to make - they're also a way to create the easiest naked scenes stars will ever record. For the stars of retro television hits, the future is audio.

British Comedy Guide, 29th April 2024Green Wing: Resuscitated review
Hit TV comedy series is revived in audio form, and the anarchic energy has survived intact.
Fiona Sturges, The Financial Times, 29th April 2024TV Review: Deep Heat, ITV2
A few years ago Stephen Merchant wrote the wrestling movie Fighting With My Family. New ITV2 sitcom Deep Heat homes in on the same world of grunting and groaning. And while you watch it you might laugh but you'll also do your fair bit of groaning.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 29th March 2022Deep Heat review
The show's template is as established as it comes: bunch of misfits come together to achieve success despite all the odds, and who knows, maybe learn a little about themselves on the way. It's the sort of Hollywood cliché premise Max & Ivan might parody in their excellent live shows, but here fully embrace.

Deep Heat, a sitcom focused on the world of wrestling, is coming to ITV2.
British Comedy Guide, 3rd February 2022I believe it's now against the law to review a comedy featuring a modern woman without mentioning Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag. In the BBC Three pilot Behind the Filter, star (and co-writer with Guardian journalist Harriet Gibsone), Phoebe Walsh deals with the "F-issue" instantly, with her character, Ruby, muttering: "Phoebe Waller-Bridge" in her sleep. Later, Ruby masturbates. Twice! Though not about Waller-Bridge, which would really have been something. Ruby is a directionless, mid-20s, Instagramming, woke-curious hipster casualty in festival-ready tangerine sunglasses, who lives with her parents (Pippa Haywood and Dominic Coleman) and lodger Abdul (Omar Malik). There were some promising moments in this 15-minute taster: not least Ruby's inevitable and pointless podcast Feminism in your Ears. More please.
Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 5th July 2020Review: Behind The Filter, BBC Three
This one-off 15-minute sitcom pilot from comedian Phoebe Walsh was scheduled to launch in early June. No specific reason was given for its delay, but now it has finally emerged on BBC Three it has been well worth the wait.
