It's not for everyone, but there's a lot of fun to be had in Johnny English Strikes Again.

Old-school sitcom should focus on characters, not contrived plots.

Johnny Vegas as everyman hero

Gentle class-divide sitcom.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 21st April 2018

TV: Home From Home, BBC One

If Vegas he has to be in the mainstream I'd rather see him in this than in Benidorm.

BBC Landmark Sitcom Season: the pilots review

In my last post I looked at three of the sitcom revivals that the BBC have produced but alongside these pieces, this new season also includes five new sitcom pilots. Over the next two weeks, all five of these shows will air and in this article I will pass judgement on them all.

TV review: Home From Home, BBC2

If the Landmark Sitcom Season was planning to promote edgy modern comedy the wait is still on. Home From Home might not be as old hat as Are You Being Served?[/ but there is nothing very new about it.

Radio Times review

Hard times on Nan's estate: developers are circling, trying to evict tenants or buy off the luckier residents who, like Nan, own their flat. When the corporate vultures' oily representative Charles Willmott (Adam James) says she can make a bit of cash, she immediately moves to the dark side: "We're bringing in a new breed of residents. The fashionistas. Russian oligarchs. Frank Lampard."

But Nan and "Wilmott-Brown" are, of course, destined to fall out. It's so much more satisfying to see Catherine Tate's creation turn her ire on someone who deserves it: that, and a riotous scene where Nan farts luxuriously on live television, compensate for some gratuitously offensive jokes.
