Pramface review
Pramface was a classier affair than the usual trip served up by BBC3 and although it wasn't always laugh-out-loud funny, an impressive cast could see it run and run.
Rachel Tarley, Metro, 24th February 2012Pramface review
It looks and feels a little like The Inbetweeners with a pregnancy plot plopped in to keep things moving, but the fact that Pramface is genuinely funny in its own right should see those possibly unfair comparisons slowly fall by the wayside.

Paul Millar, Digital Spy, 24th February 2012Pramface was bound to disappoint, and it did
Any show pitched as "the new" something is bound to be a disappointment. Only the most successful shows are followed by their very own "the new"s, so the comparisons between BBC Three's new sitcom Pramface and two leading forebears, Gavin and Stacey and The Inbetweeners, may have raised expectations to an unsustainable level.
