British Comedy Guide, 8th November 2020TV review: The Tuckers, episode 2
This is not a bad show and the second episode is more out-and-out funnier than the first. It could just do with more of an original twist.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th January 2020There's a whiff of John Sullivan's The Green Green Grass about this new show starring Ashley Jensen as Erin, a high-powered ad executive who - on a drunken internet shopping spree - buys a run-down farm in Yorkshire. As well as out-of-place Erin, there are stereotypes everywhere: a horsey next door neighbour (Sylvestra Le Touzel), a blustering family doctor (Robert Pugh), a shallow, metropolitan ex-boyfriend (Raza Jaffrey) and a nice, unsophisticated vet (Married Single Other's Shaun Dooley). It's as plodding as Erin's herd of cows, but the suggestion of subterfuge and intrigue could bode well if it becomes a series.
