Simon Bland, Big Issue North, 16th December 2019There She Goes episode 5, review
David Tennant convincingly goes against type as an ugly, unfunny drunk.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 13th November 2018Vulcan 7 review
Adrian Edmondson brings some laughs to what is otherwise a dull piece.
Tamarin Fountain, The Wee Review, 11th November 2018Vulcan 7 review
There are some brilliantly imaginative elements to the touring production of Vulcan 7 at the King's. Unfortunately, none of them are in Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer's script.
All Edinburgh Theatre, 7th November 2018Vulcan 7 review
Vulcan 7 is funny at the right moments, boasting some great one-liners and witty comments, as well as comedic situations. It benefits from excellent actors. However, the storyline was a bit lacking.
Isa Reneman, Young Perspective, 7th November 2018Vulcan 7 - King's Theatre, Edinburgh
Vulcan 7 is good, but it could have been a lot more than it is.
Tom Ralphs, The Reviews Hub, 6th November 2018Review: Vulcan 7, King's, Edinburgh, Three stars
An actor's life can go in many ways. Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer's co-written vehicle for themselves makes this abundantly clear in their portrayal of a couple of old luvs who left Rada at the same time and end up reluctantly reunited in Iceland on the set of the latest instalment of the hokey sci-fi franchise that gives the play its title.
