Press clippings

The dizzy heights were attained by Edna Everage in the first of her series of Dame Enda's Neighbourhood Watch (LWT), "the Dame show which is a Game show". Masterfully deconstructing elements of the most grotesque of LWT's outpourings - Surprise, Surprise, Through the Keyhole, Game for a Laugh, Blind Date - she has rebuilt a hilarious parody of a game show that works in its own right yet subverts the genre at the same time.

Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 21st September 1992
