Interview: Tracy-Ann Oberman

For Tracy-Ann Oberman, who plays recurring character Auntie Val, working on the latest instalment of Friday Night Dinner has been a great experience.

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

Ah, the joy; the return of Robert Popper's always very funny sitcom about a Jewish family's ever-thwarted efforts to settle down for a customary Friday-night meal. Tonight, Mark Heap excels himself as oddball neighbour Jim, who has somehow managed to secure himself a date. He saddles the Goodmans with his enigmatic dog Wilson, about whose dietary habits we learn a little. All this eats into the quality time the parents, if not their sons, had hoped to spend in their new hot tub.

David Stubbs, The Guardian, 4th 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.

Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal interview

Returning to their childhood home for a meal at the end of the working week, bickering brothers Adam and Jonny (Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal) immediately revert to childish hijinks.

Vicki Power, The Daily Express, 30th April 2018

A very welcome new series for this reliably funny sitcom. As we return to the Goodman residence, the family have a new hot tub and Mark Heap's oddball neighbour Jim has a date - which really does prove that there's someone for everyone.
