Review in The Independent
The biggest problem of all is Adam Chase's script. It really is outstandingly poor, and its poverty is compounded by the canned laughter.
Brian Viner, The Independent, 25th November 2008This gentle sci-fi comedy hasn't found its feet yet mainly because the clone is irritating rather than amusingly innocent. Plus Jonathan Pryce's Frankenstein character is a bit two-dimentional. At least Mark Gatiss's twitching and grimacing as a sadistic colonel is something to relish.
Radio Times, 24th November 2008Review in The Stage
Clone really isn't very funny at all. That it is accompanied by the uncritical and inexplicable guffaws of a canned laughter track doesn't disguise the fact that it is a veritable humour free zone, but merely draws more attention to it.
Harry Venning, The Stage, 24th November 2008
