British Comedy Guide, 11th September 2017Comedy Playhouse: Tim Vine Travels in Time review
The wordplay wizard teamed with Ore Oduba for a trip to Sherwood Forest and a half-hour barrage from his pun gun. Get ready to groan...
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 2nd September 2017Tim Vine Travels In Time preview
The most obvious bit of time travelling that Tim Vine has achieved with this pilot is to propel it about six hours ahead of where it should be in the schedules. For there's no denying that with its cheap sets and cheesy jokes this has the feel of a kids' show, out of place in a 10.35pm slot.

British Comedy Guide, 13th June 2017Preview - Henry IX
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, the duo behind classic sitcoms Porridge and The Likely Lads, are back with a new three-part series on Gold.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th April 2017This new abdication sitcom is a real coup for UKTV, having secured the writing services of British comedy royalty Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. After 25 years on the throne, good egg Henry IX floats the idea of stepping down, throwing his coterie into crisis. With an elegant cast - including Charles Edwards, Colin Salmon and Sally Phillips - exchanging dry lines in echoey state rooms, it feels like an eccentric UK cousin to The Young Pope.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 5th April 2017Henry IX preview
Gold's new three-part comedy Henry XI doesn't quite seem like the 'must-watch' its pedigree suggests, although it's a gently enjoyable half-hour with a handful of strong gags.
