Cardinal Burns present Dean and Murf review
For those in the know, there are lots of in-joke pop-culture references along the way, from Lou Diamond Phillips to a Snow Patrol spoof, but the adventure is entertaining and enjoyable on its own terms, while being probably the most interesting and distinctive of this season's pilots.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd March 2017Cardinal Burns Presents Dean and Murf is a spinoff from their Channel 4 comedy series. Dean and Murf are two superannuated ravers who live on a houseboat on the Regent's Canal and are trying to keep their heads above water without doing anything much like work. The show's targets include Loaded magazine and a splendidly sinister Ken Loach. If this turned up late at night on Radio 4 you wouldn't be surprised. To have the world of Withnail And I colliding with the comfy world of Radio 2 is more surprising.
