Youssef Kerkour

Home review

Yes, Home is underpinned by a strong social, political message, but like all good comedies, it's ultimately about relationships and the ridicule of human foibles, from Peter's intransigence to the bureaucracy of the Home Office.

Home is the perfect mix of funny and tragic

What happens when you open the boot of the family car to find an unexpected passenger all the way from Syria?

Eleanor Bley Griffiths, Radio Times, 5th March 2019

After last year's well-received Comedy Blap (Channel 4's fancy name for a short, if you were wondering), Rufus Jones's sitcom about a family who unknowingly return from a holiday in France with a Syrian refugee (Youssef Kerkour) in their boot receives a full series. Its tone is gentle rather than stridently satirical - understandable given the subject matter - but the gags are strong, the performances are likeable and the issues depicted could not be more timely.
