"Under and Over," starring the Bachelors in their first acting role, a phrase to gel the blood, was a pleasant surprise. Quite as funny as one has any right to expect on a Friday. Comedy requires tension and the north-south Irish tension twanged into laughter here like stretched elastic vibrating.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 9th January 1971
