Polite Society review
Polite Society is a delicious modern fairy-tale: Prince Charming is put firmly in his place, and the damsel takes charge of her own destiny. We're left believing that Ria really might actually leap and kick her way into her fantasy future.

Valerie Complex, Deadline, 21st January 2023Review: The Cleaner
In Man Down, he created one of the most stupidly funny - and underrated - sitcoms of recent times. But Greg Davies new BBC One project, The Cleaner, is - ironically enough - a messier mix of laughs and drama.
