British Comedy Guide, 9th June 2020TV review: Code 404 series 1 episode 6
I still hope that the show comes back for a second series, the cast are all fantastic, the concept's a fun one and there's surely a lot of ideas and concepts they can play with, but if it does I hope they shake things up a little, come up with a plot which is far more complicated, and that they ditch the love triangle element completely as that particular story strand has been done to death, both here and in way too many other series as well.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 7th May 2020Code 404 review
Sky's had a pretty good run with its comedy commissions lately, thanks to the likes of Breeders and Intelligence, and Code 404 - named after the 'page not found' error in internet protocols - is a solid and stupid addition to that decent slate.

Here Chortle editor Steve Bennett recalls the shows that had the biggest personal impact since 2010.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 31st December 2019The top ten comedy gigs of 2019
As is tradition, here's my look back at the ten most memorable comedy gigs of the last 12 months. There are bound to be omissions - the 300 or so shows I see each year are but a scratch on the volume of work the UK's industrious comedy scene produce - and the emphasis is on the 'memorable' not necessarily the funniest or the most game-changing, even if these qualities are so often interlinked.
