Radio Today, 21st April 2017TV review: Peter Kay's Car Share, Episode Three
Anyone expecting romance to blossom might have to wait a little longer.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th April 2017Kay's wonderfully gentle, Fiat-set comedy continues its second run, with John and Kayleigh not on their way to the office but rather to their annual work do. Most of the episode is spent following their journey home from the party alongside foul-mouthed Elsie (Game of Thrones's Conleth Hill). As usual, though, it's the pair's will-they, won't-they relationship - this time soundtracked by Forever FM's romantic nighttime offerings - that keep this comic vehicle on track.
