Press
Chalk (BBC1), the widely reviled situation comedy, returned late at night and nervously like something that expects to be shouted at. Either I am hardened to torture to the point of tedium or Chalk is much better than it was. It now seems a pretty good farce.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 18th September 1997
