Patrick Nunn, TV Wise, 4th January 2019Review: Death On The Tyne, Christmas Gold
It was pretty brave of Gold to schedule this one-off film on primetime on a Saturday night in the run-up to Christmas. But then the channel had reason to be ambitious. Their previous all-star Agatha Christie spoof starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson, Murder on the Blackpool Express, was the highest-ever rating show on Gold. They will be hoping for the same here. And they might just get it.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th December 2018If you enjoyed last year's Murder on the Blackpool Express it's safe to say you have a treat in store. Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson reprise their roles of lovestruck coach driver and tour guide in a new adventure that sees passengers and crew bumped off one by one on a turbulent ferry trip from Newcastle to Amsterdam.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 15th December 2018Death On The Tyne preview
Gold is primarily a reruns channel, so it's no surprise that its big commission is slightly old-fashioned in feel.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th December 2018Death on the Tyne, Gold, review
Another crude, silly and very funny outing.
