Days of the Bagnold Summer review

Earl Cave and Monica Dolan are a delight in this charming comedy directed by The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird.

Days of the Bagnold Summer review

A charmingly relatable take on our cancelled summer holidays.

Looking back at Episodes

Not quite pure parody, this meta comedy series pulls back the curtains on television and fame.

Amal Awad, The Guardian, 26th May 2020

Robert Popper's family comedy comes to an end with the Goodman boys finally bringing their girlfriends over to meet mum Tamsin Greig, yet not without a typical dose of drama and predictable gags, especially as theyre both called Lucy. There's glass in the soup, unexpected arrivals and embarrassing anecdotes galore.

Friday Night Dinner - season 6 review

Friday Night Dinner has returned for a sixth season, and it's with a heavy heart that I say I wish it hadn't.

Friday Night Dinner: Am I turning into Jackie?

Friday Night Dinner is back for a sixth series - and it's the perfect lockdown binge-watch, says Keren David.

Keren David, The Jewish Chronicle, 2nd April 2020

With perfect timing for these glum times the consummate sitcom Friday Night Dinner (Channel 4, Friday) returned. The set up of Robert Popper's comedy is simplicity itself. Every week, two Jewish sons return to their parents' London home for Shabbat dinner. The evening is frequently interrupted by next door neighbour Jim and his dog. Otherwise, the boys (Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal) bicker, mum (Tamsin Greig) fusses, and dad (Paul Ritter), prone to overheating, takes his shirt off. This time there was something new on the scene: an old caravan, bought by dad because, "I went in one when I was a boy". Oh, and Jim has a new dog. Suburban comedy at its best.

TV review: Friday Night Dinner, C4

Is there a sitcom at the moment with a stronger cast than Friday Night Dinner?

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th March 2020

Friday Night Dinner review

This series, where the central joke is that the whole family is forced to spend time together in a confined space, is strangely triggering during the coronavirus crisis.

Ed Cumming, The Independent, 27th March 2020

Friday Night Dinner, review

The menu hasn't changed - and nor would we want it to.
