British Comedy Guide, 13th July 2021Sweetheart - BFI Flare 2021 review
This British comedy is a very BFI festival selection and not dissimilar to Days Of The Bagnold Summer in its exploration of parental relationship and the end of childhood. Sweetheart feels a little drawn out but captures the terrifying excitement and vulnerability of first love.
Maryam Philpott, The Reviews Hub, 25th March 2021Review: Witless, BBC Three
The third series of comedy thriller Witless has just come out on iPlayer in one big five-episode dollop. And if you think Leanne and Rhona are going to be able to go back to their boring, ordinary lives then you clearly haven't been paying attention. These two have about as much chance of avoiding scrapes as Eamonn Holmes has of winning the World Boxing Championships.

Lyn Gardner, The Guardian, 9th November 2017The Retreat, Park Theatre, London, review
Directed by Kathy Burke, written by Sam Bain, and starring three familiar faces from British TV in recent years, this is a production loaded with talent.
Joe Vesey-Byrne, The Independent, 8th November 2017The Retreat review - funny but faltering Sam Bain play
Tim Auld, The Telegraph, 7th November 2017Preview - Loaded
There are not that many adaptations of Israeli comedy shows in Britain. The only one I can think is the BBC Two panel show The Bubble, which had one series back in 2010, so not a great record.
