Cool Blue Shed Review
On the surface, it may have seemed a bit too slick, a bit too like the shows it was sending up. Still, moan aside, this was a tremendous show. A definite highlight in the autumn schedule.

It isn't the greatest thing you'll ever hear on the radio and if you're new to Adams, this probably isn't the best place to start. But if you're already fan - if you've long had the book tucked away on a shelf somewhere - you'll enjoy it.
David Sharpe, Cool Blue Shed, 7th October 2008Little Britain USA Review
Has Little Britain become too much of a monster? Whether it has or not, it's impossible to deny that Matt Lucas and David Walliams have pulled off a sensational achievement. The first episode of Little Britain USA featured content that was every bit as good as the home-grown version and for that alone Lucas and Williams should be congratulated, applauded and showered with medals.
David Sharpe, Cool Blue Shed, 5th October 2008Beautiful People Review
When it wasn't trying so hard to establish itself (always difficult in a first episode) and when it wasn't trying so hard to be liked, it was actually very, very good. The scenes involving Simon's family, his friend (he only seemed to have one) and his neighbours, were delightful.

OK, I'll be honest, I was expecting to really, really hate Coming of Age. That's not a good way to approach a new television show, I know, but I couldn't help it. I'd seen the trailer. It looked bad. And yes, having now seen the first episode, my opinion is that there is indeed a hell of a lot wrong with Coming of Age.

The characters of Danny and Shay are bland. They're into their music and they like drinking. That's about it, really. At the other end of the scale, the two girls that make up the band HereKittyKitty and the Manny the DJ (Paul Kaye) are close to being nothing more than simplistic caricatures. HereKittyKitty are a singing version of Viz's Fat Slags. They're fat and they're coarse. Isn't that funny! Er... no. DJ Manny takes a lot of drugs. Isn't that funny! Er... no.

Every sketch show needs a hook. The Wrong Door's hook is that it makes use of CGI. There is no denying that some of the CGI in The Wrong Door is of a surprisingly high quality for a BBC Three sketch show. Sadly, the writing doesn't come up to the same standards.
