The Express and Star, 13th May 2017The Trip: a show about death that deserves to live on
Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan's show is an absurd meditation on ageing - and as the years go by, it just gets better. It would be a grave mistake to stop it now.
Edward Tew, The Guardian, 12th May 2017Preview - The Trip to Spain

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 11th May 2017It's the end of the road for Michael Winterbottom's superlative road trilogy, with a climax that utterly pulls the rug out from under our feet, while wryly commenting on themes explored throughout the series. Before we get to that, though, there's the Alhambra citadel and Málaga to drink in, and a riff on Anthony Hopkins channelling Picasso as William Bligh of HMS Bounty ("I'll put the nose where the cheek is, damn your eyes, sir!"). Amazing.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 11th May 2017Film review: Mindhorn - acceptable in the 80s, and now
The Mighty Boosh creator/stars Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby bring their daft and weird sensibilities to this glorious silly spoof of all those tacky, pleather-wearing '80s TV detectives you only really see now in marathon re-runs. And boy do they mine it for all the comedy that it's worth.

Connor Hutchinson, The Boar, 5th May 2017A publicity photoshoot in La Mancha in Don Quixote and Sancho Panza costume sees Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon continuing to tilt not so much at windmills but one other, in the penultimate episode. While Bowie and Jagger get an airing over lunch, a conversation about the Spanish Moors swiftly turns into an elongated (and hysterically funny) riff on the influence of Roger Moore on Spanish heritage; and Steve receives startling news from home.
