Press

Episode two of Tom Binns's hospital comedy and DJ Ivan Brackenbury causes panic by dressing up as the Lone Ranger for charity. Enter Sian Gibson of Car Share fame as Hilary, head of hospital security, who's charged with implementing a security clampdown. A mockumentary where the plotting drifts but sharp dialogue abounds. Self-regarding manager Susan Mitchell ponders the beds crisis: "Can you look into the feasibility of bunk beds? Just seems so obvious - and fun."

Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 28th April 2017
