David Baddiel & Frank Skinner want return of Unplanned
David Baddiel and Frank Skinner want to bring back their talk show.
Female First, 29th March 2017Watching the first episode, two things became apparent: firstly, Frank Skinner isn't actually that funny and bluffs his way through much of the show with a kind of rogue-ish charm; secondly, the respective profiles of Baddiel and Skinner are becoming more and imbalanced. If the audience's reaction was anything to go by, Baddiel is now little more than Skinner's stooge.
Jack Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 14th January 2001Unlike the doomed Sessions, to whom we were almost compelled to feel indebted, Baddiel and Skinner make us feel as though we are their contemporaries. This isn't a performance we're watching, it's a happening (albeit a low-key happening) that we're part of.
