Hang Ups, episode 1 review
Real therapists will roll their eyes but this comedy is a wonderfully ribald treat.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 9th August 2018Hang Ups episode 1 review
With a strong core cast, an impressive roster of guest stars and an interesting style unlike anything else on British television, Hang Ups is an enjoyable watch.
Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 9th August 2018New comedy: 'Cup your genitals and just hold them'
If the jokes are just the right side of inappropriate, so is the form.
Peter Crawley, The Irish Times, 9th August 2018Hang Ups preview
With a gag rate that's rare on TV comedy, an imposing sense of peril for poor Richard, and some of the most entertaining nutjobs on screen (that is probably not the correct physiological term), Hang Ups is definitely worth a weekly session - on whatever device you choose to watch it on.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 8th August 2018TV: Hang Ups, Channel 4

British Comedy Guide, 2nd October 2017Inside No.9 review: series three: 'Empty Orchestra'
'Empty Orchestra' is a very affecting piece. There are moments in it that stay with you and replay inside your head, such is the level of poignancy which builds within it, almost like a piece of music reaching a crescendo.
Dodo's Words, 13th March 2017Inside No.9 season 3 episode 4 review: Empty Orchestra
It's a half hour with significantly more emotional heft, having on its playlist such old classics as betrayal, regret and unrequited love.
Andrew Allen, Cult Box, 8th March 2017Inside No 9: Empty Orchestra review
Anyone who has taken part in a works' karaoke outing knows that it's an arena for bad singing, annoyingly good singing and professional tensions to surface unprofessionally. The latest episode of Inside No 9, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's terrifically clever portmanteau series, exploited this to full effect to provide another 30-minute oddity that was bursting with ideas and left you with a feeling of deep unsettlement, like reading an MR James story and then remembering the denouement in your dreams and waking up in a cold sweat.
