Only Fools and Horses: The Musical, review
The crucial thing missing from this funny musical is any truly compelling reason why Del Boy and Rodney have to burst into song.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 20th February 2019Only Fools And Horses The Musical review
Much more than just an action-packed show, Only Fools and Horses is a social commentary that is fit for purpose.

British Comedy Guide, 5th May 2017Tom Bennett interview about Raising Martha
Tom Bennett is fast becoming the best comedy actor in the country. He is now appearing in David Spicer's Raising Martha playing at the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, North London.
Jason Palmer, Entertainment Focus, 2nd February 2017You didn't have to be under the influence of any class B subtance to enjoy the return of fitfully engaging comedy PhoneShop (E4) but it probably would have helped.
Because essentially it involved the entire cast doing a drama workshop spin on 'what it's like when you're under the influence of weed'. That's taken over from acting drunk at drama school. Some pulled it off rather more convincingly than others.
Topping the paranoia stakes was Tom Bennett as Chris, who dropped his trousers and turned into an urban junkie the moment one of manager Lance's special cakes popped into his mouth.
Chris's wayward behaviour was in line with PhoneShop itself, the (rather neat) episode title "Baking Bad" unleashing a riot of loose ends spun around the concept of the White Man Reggae Club. Somewhat off-puttingly, it found itself hilariously funny. Kind of like the way you do when... well you can probably guess where that sentence is going.
Keith Watson, Metro, 26th July 2013The third series of the wilfully wacky comedy set - in case you hadn't guessed - in an emporium for the purveyance of mobile communications technology gets off to a high old start when boss Lance (Martin Trenaman) brings some ganja-filled reggae cakes in for a tea-time nibble. In the blink of a spliff, the joint is tripping big time, with the laid-back Chris (Tom Bennett) stealing the show as a crazed junkie with trouser issues and delusions of Gil Scott-Heron. Don't do drugs, kids.
