It's great to have Mock the Week back. I love the show's lack of slickness and it's the ideal vehicle for Frankie Boyle who seems strangely restricted on News Knight with Trevor McDonald.

Off The Telly Article

Mock the Week achieves something quite impressive - it manages to get every toe-curling feature of panel-based programming into one half hour show. Including over-reliance on the concept; thinly disguised scripted material; and a complete lack of anything topical to say.

John Walker, Off The Telly, 24th June 2005
