British Comedy Guide, 5th August 2021Motherland's lazy cancer story betrays true struggles
As someone going through the hellish slog of a breast cancer diagnosis, I wish more care was given to Meg's storyline.
Rosamund Dean, i Newspaper, 7th June 2021TV review: Motherland, BBC2
Needless to say the performances are all great.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 31st May 2021Motherland review
This show has become much more than a series of skits at the school gates. I hope it runs for years.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 25th May 2021Motherland series three review
Sharon Horgan's angry baby is as biting as ever when skewering narcissistic middle-class mums. But it could make its white characters squirm a bit more.
Chitra Ramaswamy, The Guardian, 24th May 2021Bloods (Sky One) pairs Famalam's Samson Kayo with, bizarrely, Jane Horrocks, as a mismatched pair of paramedics. The opener has each of them struggling towards any kind of cultural rapport - he big and angry and avowedly from the 'hood, she librarian-kind and mousy and determinedly from the suburbs of somewhere northern. It somehow works as comedy, if of the sweeter rather than distinctly darker kind. Hugely helped by the outlying cast, particularly Lucy Motherland Punch as the boss with an unrequited crush on sad widower Julian Barratt. Who would (quite inexplicably) rather cry into his pint than jump her bones.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 9th May 2021Bloods review
A magnificent paramedic comedy full of gallows humour.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 5th May 2021Bloods, Sky One, review
It was hard to laugh at this paramedic comedy - the medical emergencies felt too real.
Barbara Speed, i Newspaper, 5th May 2021Bloods, episode 1 review
Samson Kayo outshines Jane Horrocks in this odd-couple comedy.
