British Comedy Guide, 9th February 2016Radio Times review
This is one for the middle-aged men in your life. Or for those who like watching middle-aged men slowly realise the oblivion that is their future. Who doesn't like that? As Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon go on a tour of the North's most expensive restaurants, it's not quite clear whether they're playing or parodying themselves. And therein lies the joy.

Digital Spy, 11th May 2015Radio Times review
Could such a gimmicky, conceptual comedy survive in a second series overseas? Yes. If anything, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's more expansive return as "Steve Coogan" and "Rob Brydon" was better, with the scenery and restaurants even lusher, and a more solid but still lightly sketched story adding unlikely new pathos to the theme of vain, over-analytical divas suffering a rarified midlife crisis. And those pinging comic riffs over lunch were just as dazzling. A luxury bitter chocolate of a show.
