Nooruddean Choudry, JOE, 2nd July 2019Review: Jerk, BBC Three
BBC Three has come up with a pocket-sized gem in Jerk. Following a one-off pilot in 2016, this is only a four-part series but there's a surprisingly pleasing arc to it as we go from squirming at the main character Tim's behaviour to cheering him on at the end. As they say, we laugh and we learn.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st March 2019After his vampire exposé mock-doc and an ultra-awks sex travelogue, the third of Luke McQueen's daft pilots is a delirious send-up of staged dating shows like Love Island.

Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 21st September 2018The Luke McQueen Pilots: The Luke of Love review
Some of the scenes are certainly funny, especially the image of the comedian as a baby, 'Pukey Lukey', in a segment purportedly designed to test the contestants' mothering skills, which again goes on too long. Meanwhile McQueen crashing a date in the real world is as embarrassing as it gets, another step towards the inevitable collapse of the format.
