Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 19th February 2019Review: Adam Riches Is The Guy Who...
Riches has an unerring ear for hackery and the more vacuous end of self-help culture, but the male-female dynamic is a mightily fine line to tread. His actorly skills and genuine niceness, though, pull it off and there are many laugh-out-loud gags in the hour.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 9th January 2019Best of 2018: comedy
Returning greats and a memorable newcomer.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 28th December 2018This sitcom, written by Jack Dee and Pete Sinclair, inexplicably limped to a second series. The set-up is that a couple (Dee and Kerry Godliman) have moved from the city to the country, where they find, among many other clichés trotted out in the various scenarios they face, that the grass isn't always greener. Joining the bad internet connection, weird neighbours and rude locals storylines of the first series were a leaking roof and moth infestation in the second. The lack of any discernible chemistry between the leads didn't help either, and Dee's lugubrious style meant Godliman had little to play off, so she upped her performance, but not in a good way. It's a shame, but it shows that sitcom (with two very good stand-ups as leads) can be less than the sum of its parts.
