If you've yet to have the pleasure, Taskmaster is simply one of the most joyful series around. Which other TV show gets you inside the boot of Bob Mortimer's car or turns Noel Fielding into a tiny banana? Five comedians, doing very silly things in the presence of creator Alex Horne and the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies. This year's contestants are Paul Sinha, Joe Thomas, Iain Stirling, Lou Sanders and Sian Gibson. A sheer delight.

British Comedy Guide, 18th February 2019Being on this list on the strength of only one proper episode tells you how beloved Kay's confined sitcom is, and how deflated we were when it supposedly ended in 2017 with a stubbornly downbeat finale. That problem was fixed completely by the new, extra, proper ending, which at last saw co-workers John (Kay) and Kayleigh (Sian Gibson) fall in love. An improvised bonus instalment showed off the natural, unscriptable chemistry between Kay and Gibson - which is what made us fall in love with the show in the first place.
Jack Seale, Radio Times, 26th December 2018Review: Death On The Tyne, Christmas Gold
It was pretty brave of Gold to schedule this one-off film on primetime on a Saturday night in the run-up to Christmas. But then the channel had reason to be ambitious. Their previous all-star Agatha Christie spoof starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson, Murder on the Blackpool Express, was the highest-ever rating show on Gold. They will be hoping for the same here. And they might just get it.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th December 2018If you enjoyed last year's Murder on the Blackpool Express it's safe to say you have a treat in store. Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson reprise their roles of lovestruck coach driver and tour guide in a new adventure that sees passengers and crew bumped off one by one on a turbulent ferry trip from Newcastle to Amsterdam.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 15th December 2018Death On The Tyne preview
Gold is primarily a reruns channel, so it's no surprise that its big commission is slightly old-fashioned in feel.
