Ben Williams, Time Out, 22nd October 2013Radio Times review

The frequent returns to the World Ham Shouting Championships did nothing for me, although I appreciate the skill in mimicking sports commentary styles. The vision of Gary Lineker constantly following an innocent couple and peeing on their car, however, had me howling. The choice, as they say, is yours.
