Pandemonium review

BBC comedy is a valiant effort at exploring our current predicament.

Ed Cumming, The Independent, 31st December 2020

Review: Pandemonium

As what's hopefully a once-in-a-lifetime disruptor, the coronavirus pandemic is an unusual hook for a sitcom's pilot episode. Lockdown is certainly not a 'sit' you'd want to return to time and again.

Pandemonium review

A testament to the tonic of laughter.

Pandemonium review

It's a wise sitcom that gives Alison Steadman all the best lines.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 30th December 2020

Pandemonium review

A lockdown comedy special with gallows humour.

Flora Carr, Radio Times, 30th December 2020

Preview: Pandemonium - Christmas Special 2020, BBC One

It seems a bit presumptious that this one-off comedy is billed as a Christmas special on the BBC website. It makes it sound as if it is following on from a hit series. But on the positive side Pandemonium feels so instantly accessible and so well-rounded that it could easily be following on from a hit series.

TV review: Ghosts Series 2 Episode 1

There's still enough going on here that it's a show I'm extremely fond of, the cast are without exception bloody superb, and the concept is an appealing one indeed. But whereas the majority of the previous series were of the four star and more variety this was definitely one of the weaker episodes, enjoyable for sure, but lacking in moments which would make anyone laugh out loud over and over again.
