Matt Edwards, Den Of Geek, 5th March 2018Action Team review
With its high-tech HQ basking in the blue glow of vital computer monitors, ITV2's new comedy Action Team might look like [i]Spooks[i]. But it actually has a lot more in common with a rather different franchise: Austin Powers.

British Comedy Guide, 7th December 2017Vicky McClure joins ITV2 comedy Action Team
Line Of Duty and Broadchurch star Vicky McClure has joined the cast of Action Team, ITV2's spoof spy action-thriller.
British Comedy Guide, 6th September 2017The makers of Convenience deserve some credit for creating a low-budget British comedy that is mostly watchable and occasionally even funny. It is far from perfect but it has an endearing enthusiasm and an easy chemistry between stars Ray Panthaki and Adeel Akhtar. Heavily in debt to Russian mobsters, Shaan (Akhtar) and Ajay (Panthaki) decide to rob a local petrol station.
The safe is on a time lock and will not open until 6am so they stay the night, kidnapping the manager and dealing with a succession of customers. It starts to feel like a long night's journey into day but the sweet relationship between Ajay and bumbling, gormless Shaan helps to keep you on its side and there is the added bonus of This Is England's Vicky McClure as shop assistant Levi.
