Press clippings

Regardless of what is to come though, it is difficult not to dismiss Baddiel's Syndrome in its entirety. Kooky foreign cleaners, amusing Yanks, and a toff neighbour are not the framework for classic comedy in the 21st century.

Jack Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 14th January 2001

Analyse this...

The first thing that strikes you about this sitcom, which Baddiel has written with journalist Pete Bradshaw, is that it doesn't look like a British sitcom. It looks like an American sitcom which happens to be set in Camden Town.

William Leith and Kathryn Flett, The Guardian, 31st December 2000
