Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 3rd March 2024The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
I'm delighted to say it's an absolute hoot. A rip-roaringly silly absolute hoot.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 3rd March 2024The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
The Mighty Boosh star brings his usual chaotic whimsy to this show about a would-be highwayman - but even a cast packed with comic geniuses can't remove the stench of "Will this do?"
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 1st March 2024The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
Dick Turpin's gone woke! He's now a non-violent vegan who prefers knitting to armed robbery, shuns toxic masculinity, and embraces diversity in his gang of previously ruthless outlaws.

Noel Fielding in thin but enjoyably silly Apple TV+ comedy.
Angie Han, Hollywood Reporter, 1st March 2024The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
A winning Kiri Flaherty appears as Little Karen, an 8-year-old who runs the pub where our heroes assemble.
Robert Lloyd, LA Times, 1st March 2024The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin review
If you're looking for a fun, history-adjacent comedy adventure, The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin is a gratifying, surrealist romp. Fielding's Turpin may not be historically accurate at all, but his unfaltering optimism and love of knitting makes for one of the more unique interpretations of the legend.
Shannon Connellan, Mashable, 29th February 2024Dick Turpin: a brilliantly absurd hit of nostalgia for Mighty Boosh fans
If you lean into the absurdity of it all, The Completely Made-up Adventures Of Dick Turpin is a lot of laughs. It feels like it was made for OG Noel Fielding fans (hello!), and it's a great introduction for those who have till now remained uninitiated.
