British Comedy Guide, 17th February 2017Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt's performance is almost Partridge-esque in its clueless pomposity in this hilarious British comedy.

British Comedy Guide, 18th October 2016Yonderland series 3 episode 1 review: A Rising Tide
After a promising first series and a confident second, Yonderland has returned for a third and begins by posing the question, 'do you need a Chosen One after the evil has gone?'
Rachel Meaden, Den Of Geek, 16th October 2016Mindhorn review
Mindhorn isn't slick, and it's rough around the edges, and we have no idea if it'll connect with a wider audience. But a MacGruber-style cult following at least seems guaranteed, and more than anything, it just feels refreshing for a British comedy to have as much dumb ambition as it has.
The Playlist, 13th October 2016Mindhorn review
A frustratingly slapdash and derivative affair.
