Review: Please Help, BBC Three/iPlayer
This is one of those comedies that can be read on at least two levels. It's daft fun, certainly, but it also seems to be making a serious comment about the pressure put on the mental health of individuals by the inadequacy of the NHS care system, which can place a heavy burden on family members.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th July 2021Please Help review
The BBC really ought to pounce on this imaginative, hilarious premise and sign Pearman up for a series immediately.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th August 2020TV review: Mister Winner series 1 episode 6
I really don't want to be too harsh on the show, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it, but it repeatedly takes a scenario which could lead to amusement but then just doesn't do anything that funny or inventive with it. While normally I'd hope that a second series might resolve the problems the first had but it seems a deliberate choice to be such a mundane affair, so in this case I hope it isn't given one and the cast go on to bigger and far better things instead.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 26th March 2020TV review: Mister Winner, series 1 episode 1
Given how much of a fan I am of Spencer and Pearman I will watch at least one more episode, but if it wasn't for the talented cast then I'm not sure I'd bother.
