Car Share to return for concluding special
Peter Kay's Car Share will return to screens in 2018 for a concluding episode, and an unscripted special.
British Comedy Guide, 17th November 2017Penned by Hebburn writer Jason Cook, Griff Rhys Jones plays mercenary murder mystery writer David Van Der Clane, who's helming a budget coach tour of super-fans to the locations from his novels, ending up at Blackpool Tower. Except soon they're getting bumped off. There's a fine cast including Johnny Vegas, Sian Gibson and Una Stubbs, but even Kevin Eldon and Mark Heap find it hard to wring out any laughs. Whodunnit? Who cares?
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 11th November 2017I don't think I've ever seen a more impressive cast lined up for a TV comedy than the one Gold has assembled for its special one-off original commission Murder on the Blackpool Express. So I ought to namecheck them, oughtn't I?
There's Johnny Vegas, Sian Gibson (best known for Peter Kay's Car Share), Nigel Havers, Una Stubbs, Griff Rhys Jones, Nina Wadia, Sheila Reid, Kevin Eldon, Mark Heap, Kimberley Nixon, Katy Cavanagh, Matthew Cottle, Susie Blake and Javone Prince. There you have them: some of the best comedic talent from the past half a century or so - and a lot for the scriptwriters and directors to live up to.
Where do you go with that lot? Well, Blackpool, obviously, on a "literary coach tour" with Vegas driving and Gibson as the guide, but also a journey of detective investigation to discover exactly which of the assembled odd bods did for pensioner Marjorie, murdered by means of a dodgy cob with coronation chicken filling. There's one clue for you. Remember: Means, Motive, Opportunity. Enjoy.

Stephen Armstrong, Radio Times, 11th November 2017Review: Murder on the Blackpool Express, Gold
The Christmas spirit has already started this year. Not just with the John Lewis adverts but with this comedy.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th November 2017Murder on the Blackpool Express review
Murder on the Blackpool Express, the latest original comedy-drama from GOLD, was a nicely rambunctious Northern take on a classic multi-suspect whodunnit recently given the big-budget film treatment (again).

British Comedy Guide, 28th July 2017Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson star in Murder On The Blackpool Express
The cast has been announced for Gold comedy Murder On The Blackpool Express with Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson leading an all-star cast.
British Comedy Guide, 10th July 2017More amiable schedule-filler from various stages of Kay's career, built this week round a chaotic interview on Irish TV, standup about schooldays ("When you were sick, they used to put sawdust down. What were all that about?") Best of all is the Phoenix Nights finale where the club staff have to become the acts in a Stars in Your Eyes evening. Plus, a magical clip of Kay and Sian Gibson helpless with laughter in a scene from Car Share.
