Days of the Bagnold Summer review
The first-time director spins a bittersweet tale of family strife, starring Earl Cave in a breakout role.
Nick Levine, NME, 8th June 2020Movie review - Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019)
Minor-key and understated to a fault, Days of the Bagnold Summer is an accomplished directorial debut for Bird.
Tom Beasley, Flickering Myth, 7th June 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer review
If, like me, you are a huge appreciator of comic books and the music of Belle and Sebastian then Simon Bird's directorial debut is an easy sell.
Rich Johnson, The Digital Fix, 5th June 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer review
Earl Cave and Monica Dolan are a delight in this charming comedy directed by The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 4th June 2020Days of the Bagnold Summer review

In the final installment of their fictional travel series, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon let us live vicariously one last time.
Bilge Ebiri, Vulture, 8th April 2020The final series of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's all-expenses culinary jolly has proved more sombre than previous outings, albeit bookended by the pair's trademark celebrity impressions and extravagant meals. As it comes to an end, there is a trip to an Ottoman fortress, and bad news for Coogan.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 31st March 2020The Trip To Greece, series finale review
Farce, vanity and profound seriousness somehow hang together.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 31st March 2020Review: The Trip The Greece - Sky One
I'm going to do a thing that I don't think I've ever seen a critic do before. I'm going to say that my review was wrong. When I reviewed the first episode of the latest series of The Trip, set in Turkey and Greece, I wrote how I was disappointed by it. Having watched the first episode I felt that the tone had changed. There had always been a running theme about the rivalry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon but here I thought there was too much needle and nastiness. The joke wasn't all that funny any more. But that review was only based on the opening episode.
