The Absolutely Radio Show review

You'd never believe it's been 22 years - there are laughs aplenty as the cast are reunited for gags about divorce, Facebook and, of course, Stoneybridge.

Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 10th September 2015

The cast of Channel 4's sketch show Absolutely are reassembled this week for The Absolutely Radio Show. Morwenna Banks gives us her Little Girl's bracingly candid guide to divorce ("and when your mum saw the pictures on Dad's phone she was very, very cross and did drink a pint of wine even when it was the morning"); Calum Gilhooley calls a company he has recently patronised to ask them to fill in a survey on how he performed as a customer; and a sibling in New Zealand is called with the sad news that Dad has once again taken a turn for the worse. She needs some persuading to book a flight. "Is he going to die this time? What colour is he?"
