Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 20th February 2024Joe Lycett Vs Sewage review

Female First, 15th July 2020The First Team review
The First Team just isn't ready for the big time. Back to the training ground.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 29th May 2020TV review: The First Team, BBC2
We might have to wait a bit longer for the real Premier League to start but you can get an early football fix with this new sitcom set in the world of soccer's top flight written by Inbetweeners writers Iain Morris and Damon Beesley. Although a word of warning if you are having really bad withdrawal symptoms, there is no actual football shown. This is pretty much a workplace comedy that happens to be set in the football world. Same shit, shinier cars.
