Channel 4 orders sixth Friday Night Dinner

Friday Night Dinner will return to Channel 4 in 2020 for a new, sixth series.

British Comedy Guide, 13th May 2019

One of the best comic adaptations you've not heard of

In 2010, comic book movies were already big, but it would be two years before the first Avengers movie would hit theaters and they became an unstoppable force. So it was an ideal time for Tamara Drewe, a movie that was, and still very much is, an exception to the rules of the genre.

How we made: Green Wing

'Filming in a hospital was hell. We shot scenes in the recovery area, surrounded by patients coming round from their operations'

Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 25th June 2018

In a somewhat peculiar turn of events, mum Jackie (Tamsin Greig) arranges her own surprise birthday party, hoping that none of her friends will find out that she is behind it. So it's down to dad Martin to pretend that he arranged it instead; obviously, the plan quickly goes awry when he realises he has got the date wrong.

Friday Night Dinner, Channel 4 review

Predictable but fun.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 5th May 2018

Friday Night Dinner, review

This gentle sitcom should be required viewing for anti-Semitic trolls.

Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 5th May 2018

TV review: Friday Night Dinner, C4

This is a grimly funny episode full of great lines and fabulous performances, including the dog.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 4th May 2018

Friday Night Dinner, Channel 4, review

Still a delicious mixture of slapstick and acid after five series.

Jeff Robson, i Newspaper, 4th May 2018

TV review: Episodes, BBC2

It happens to be quite funny. Not that comedies have to be very funny these days...

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st April 2018

Episodes, series five, episode one review

The perfect encapsulation of cruel yet effective comedy.

Ed Power, The Telegraph, 30th March 2018
