Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's twisted anthology comedy returns for a Christmas special, with Pemberton, Jessica Raine and Rula Lenska hamming it up gleefully as a family getting more than they bargained for while on an Alpine holiday. Initially, it's a homage to 70s TV melodrama. But a voiceover - director's commentary or something more sinister? - lends an uneasy undertone, and soon the spoofy chuckles are over.

Alison Carr, Standard Issue, 29th November 2016Dead Funny review
Terry Johnson's 1994 play is exactly what it says in the title: it's dead funny.
Neil Norman, The Daily Express, 18th November 2016Review: Dead Funny
This is more than just a tribute to TV's Golden Age comedians; it's a show that will make your sides split and your heart ache in the same breath. And that's no mean feat.
