Gem Wheeler, Den Of Geek, 3rd May 2017Come on Kay, give Car Share fans the ending we deserve
A festive special - where Car Share Lancastrian lovebirds finally kiss under the supermarket mistletoe - would be just the Christmas gift the nation needs. Pass the Quality Street and cue up that Marillion ballad.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 3rd May 2017I must say I'd been dreading the moment that finally did arrive in Peter Kay's Car Share last night. The moment, that is, when romance might finally overshadow Kay's usual sharply-observed knockabout, as it has been threatening to for some time. I knew that, sooner or later, something was going to give in the ever-closer friendship of John Redmond (Kay) and Kayleigh Kitson (Sian Gibson). John was dreading it too, but I was certainly relieved that "the moment" when she tells her co-worker, in terms, that he is "the one" was handled so gracefully. Comedy and romance don't often mix readily, like the contents of a pot noodle, but in Car Share somehow the writing and acting transcended the usual rom-com gruesomeness. For that, and a fleeting appearance of a Bolton lollipop lady in an emerald green burka, the BBC must give Kay, Gibson and the bright red Fiat 500L another outing. But please - no schmaltz.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 3rd May 2017The second run of the brilliant car-set sitcom draws to a close. As it begins, John is leaving his nan at his house to wait indoors for a parcel delivery ("Sky's on, and there's quiche in the fridge"), before heading over to pick up Kayleigh (the excellent Sian Gibson), who has somehow locked herself in her house. Despite umpteen laughs, this is ultimately an episode that deals with some of the bigger issues outside the pair's unusually compact world.
