Opinion: comedies that were pulled earlier than planned

If Host The Week has been axed by Channel 4 after one episode, as has been reported, it joins a very select band of television comedies that were pulled earlier than planned.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th June 2017

The very title "Where Shall I Sit?" indicates what the show was attempting and why it was dropped. There is a certain uncertainty about it. A suggestion of L plates.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 13th March 1971

Peter Cook seems hellbent on antagonising his audience and succeeds. "Long may I remain an amateur" was his final, defiant cry, but Where Shall I Sit? suggests he doesn't give a damn about his audience. And I don't suppose he does.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th February 1971
