Review: Jerk, BBC Three
BBC Three has come up with a pocket-sized gem in Jerk. Following a one-off pilot in 2016, this is only a four-part series but there's a surprisingly pleasing arc to it as we go from squirming at the main character Tim's behaviour to cheering him on at the end. As they say, we laugh and we learn.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st March 2019Zapped Series 3 confirmed
Fantasy-based sitcom Zapped is to return to channel Dave for a third series. Six new episodes are being filmed for broadcast later in 2018.

British Comedy Guide, 12th April 2017Zapped review: hard to find any evidence it's a comedy
This is an amiable show, but its bunch of magical losers will have you wanting to leave their parallel universe and head home.
Tim Dowling, The Guardian, 14th October 2016Zapped episode 1 review
Zapped wouldn't be the first sitcom that failed to convince everyone on its first outing. I warmed to it more on a second watch so with time spent in Munty getting to know these characters, we could well learn to enjoy them. Love them like we love Lister or Rincewind though? My soothsayer rune says not likely.
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 14th October 2016Preview: Zapped
Riding on the wave of Red Dwarf, Dave has moved from sci-fi to fantasy with their latest original work.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 13th October 2016Zapped review
After finding success with the revival of Red Dwarf, the Dave channel has now turned to another cult genre to find its next comedy hit: fantasy. And the signs from the first episode of Zapped are pretty encouraging.
