Labour of Love review - Freeman & Greig labour in vain
Comedy about Labour Party history is starry, but tediously overblown.
Aleks Sierz, The Arts Desk, 3rd October 2017Labour of Love review - witty take on party's past
Martin Freeman and Tamsin Greig give sparkling performances as a reforming MP and his constituency agent fighting through Labour's fluctuating fortunes.
Michael Billington, The Guardian, 3rd October 2017Preview - Porters
This dark, hospital based sitcom from Dave has already attracted some big names too it. It's not that many brand new British sitcoms that can claim to feature Frasier's Kelsey Grammer in a cameo appearance.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th September 2017This new sitcom comes from the brainpan of Dan Sefton, the medic turned writer behind BBC1's recent drama Trust Me, and features yet another character so desperate to be a doctor they will do pretty much anything. Ed Easton is the nervous new hospital porter who dreams of wielding a stethoscope, while his eccentric co-workers include Crazyhead's Susan Wokoma and former replicant Rutger Hauer. Kelsey Grammer also pops up for an irate cameo.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 20th September 2017Porters: preview
Dave has only dipped its toe in the water with a commission of three episodes, but the results from this test are back - and the prognosis for Porters is definitely good.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th September 2017Susan Wokoma: The door shuts firmly on us a lot quicker
She was a demon hunter, stole scenes as Michaela Coel's sister and is in a farce about Labour's identity crisis. But Susan Wokoma is turning to her own family to write her next roles.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 19th September 2017Crazyhead won't return for season 2
The relatively small, but loyal, audience that loved the Susan Wokoma/Cara Theobald series will be left hanging...
Cult Box, 17th July 2017Channel Dave orders hospital sitcom Porters
Channel Dave has ordered Porters, a comedy about 'the unseen life of a modern hospital.' Ed Easton, Susan Wokoma and Claudia Jessie will star.
British Comedy Guide, 20th April 2017The terrifying yet funny demon-bashing series draws to a close in outrageous style. It's Halloween and brilliant double act Amy (Cara Theobold) and Raquel (Susan Wokoma) go into hiding with only vodka, Jenga and boys for company. But, when it looks as if evil Callum has finally got hold of Raquel, Amy has to brave a fancy dress party to rescue her. That's if wise-cracking Raquel doesn't finish him off first with a barrage of "your mum" jokes. Disturbing and excellent.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 23rd November 2016Crazyhead episode 5 review
All in all, 'Downward Facing Dog' IS business as usual for Crazyhead. But that is no criticism whatsoever - in fact, the episode is easily the best one yet.
