Press

Marc Wootton's decent desert island comedy - which pitches its improvised palm frond shelter somewhere between Lord of the Flies and Benidorm - continues. In tonight's episode, flight attendant Brett (Wootton) and Douglas depart for the other island - and make an interesting discovery.

John Robinson, The Guardian, 1st June 2018
