A half hour of the fake McCoy

Presumably, C4 hoped to emulate this success when they first commissioned Get Up, Stand Up, which began its third series last night, but what they've ended up with is, unfortunately, a half hour of the fake McCoy. In fact, this offering from Malcolm Frederick, Angie Le Mar, and Chris Tummings is more reminiscent of the late and thoroughly unlamented Three Of A Kind, a show that was about as funny as being born dead with cancer.

Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 9th October 1996
