A Kind Of Kidnapping review
A Kind of Kidnapping is a vital, urgent slice of modern British cinema, rude and crude (too crude perhaps for sniffier critics) but powerful, compelling and utterly contemporary.
Paul Mount, Starburst Magazine, 18th July 2023With Have I Got News For You now the satirical equivalent of a dad at a disco, the need for an acerbic outsider to square up to the establishment has never been greater. While British TV is yet to find anything as punchy as HBO's Last Week Tonight, but Guy Davidson and Dan Clarke (aided by performers including Emma Sidi and Jon Pointing) will attempt here to blend sketches and remixed news footage into - if we are lucky - a chunky satirical soup. If we are not, expect the same insipid gruel we have been served many times before.
Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 12th July 2018Channel 4 orders topical anarchic mash-up pilot

British Comedy Guide, 17th May 2018A terrestrial airing for Dan Clarke's BBC Three comedy about neurotic singleton Don, whose bad instincts are holding him back. Unfortunately Clarke omitted to make the self-centred Don in any way appealing, so the sympathetic laughs come few and far between.
