British Comedy Guide, 28th March 2019Review: The Road To Brexit, BBC2
I didn't write about this Matt Berry one-off written by Arthur Mathews earlier because I assumed it would be postponed when Brexit was postponed. Instead it is going full steam ahead, so at least there is something to laugh about at the moment.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th March 2019Road to Brexit, BBC Two review
Matt Berry's delusional mash-up of history reflects the state of the nation.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 26th March 2019You either love Julia Davis or think her sick filth ought to be banned. Sally4Ever proved yet again that there is nobody working today - or at least nobody with the same platform - with a blacker sense of humour. Sally (Catherine Shepherd) was already surrounded by monsters: her loser of a boyfriend (Alex MacQueen) and tricky colleagues played by Julian Barratt and Felicity Montagu. Then Emma (Davis herself) arrived, a tornado of sex and bad intentions. Beneath the shagging, drugs, excrement, manipulation and malice were pockets of tenderness, but you had to look pretty hard to see them. Luckily there were also gales of laughter. NB If you have yet to see it, please do not watch it with your parents or children on Boxing Day and then write in to complain.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 18th December 2018If you haven't been watching Sally4Ever, I'll make you
It has brought me back to the joys of TV comedy. It's a throwback to that agonising wait for each episode.
Hannah Jane Parkinson, The Guardian, 8th December 2018Is Sally4Ever based on a true story?
American television could always use a healthy dose of British humor, and as Sally4Ever heads to HBO on Nov. 11, we'll be getting just that.
Taylor Maple, Bustle, 11th November 2018Sally4Ever review

Malcolm Venable, TV Guide, 9th November 2018Sally4Ever: watch funny cringe comedy at your own risk
Created by British comedian Julia Davis, new series delivers some big laughs and whole lot of squirm-inducing moments.
