Stacey Dooley is the celebrity guest on another edition of Lycett's intensely light-hearted take on consumer affairs. A car-rental company is the target of a hidden-camera investigation, while a gold-digging scammer receives the full weight of Lycett's "trolling-the-trolls" prankery.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 3rd May 2019

A series offering an odd mixture of consumer crusading and light entertainment as Joe Lycett tackles dodgy hotels. The tone is odd; it's hard to know how seriously to take the consumer affairs elements that occasionally jar with the comedy. But Lycett is good value and his wit carries the day.

Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 12th April 2019

After making his name with a series of gloriously petty populist pranks, the standup is handed his own consumer affairs show. Think of it as a comedy Watchdog, with Lycett doing his sternest Anne Robinson impression. Episode one sees him tackle a viewer's bank fraud issue.

Review: Joe Lycett's Got Your Back

The ever-watchable host's charisma and cheeky good nature carries the gear changes, while Silcox adds a more subtly subversive tone that should win him more fans. No need to demand your money back here.
