British Comedy Guide, 21st August 2019Seriously funny: why we fell in love with dramedies

Vanessa Thorpe, The Guardian, 11th May 2019Sami pays a visit to "Stone'enge" on the eve of his interview and Peter makes a big decision in the final episode of Rufus Jones's lovely sitcom. Beautifully written, wonderfully cast and incredibly timely, it manages to say more about the current state of the UK than any number of documentaries.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 9th April 2019After a poor start, writer-star Rufus Jones's comedy-drama has matured into a thought-provoking meditation on statelessness, ornamented by a few tension-relieving jokes.

Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 26th March 2019Episode two of Rufus Jones's gently subversive refugee comedy, and Sami from Syria gets to grips with his new life in Dorking - which largely involves running into Brexity locals and mean teenagers. Will disdainful Peter come back from work and save the day? Not quite.
