Press clippings

Taken to task by one correspondent for laughing at Crown House, and by another finding Muir and Norden amusing, I can only plead personal taste. So what about the description of Second Thoughts (Radio 4, Tuesdays and Thursdays) as comedy? [...] produced with expert timing by Pete Atkin, it owes more to After Henry than to that dodo of Radio 4, the sitcom.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 19th November 1988

It would take the skills of Jane Austen to turn the painful relationships of the three women into anything approaching comedy. [...] Simon Brett is a clever and observant writer, and Peter Atkin is an expert producer. But After Henry has ceased to be comedy.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 20th September 1986
