Review: Martin Fishback, BBC
Tactless, middle-class dad Martin Fishback wants to become a crime-writer... This is a small modest pilot, which is apt, because Fishback is a small, modest man. In the most boring suburban clothes in Christendom. With the most boring suburban voice in Christendom too. And very funny.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 10th February 2022Martin Fishback review
Fergus Craig stuck viral gold during lockdown with his alter-ego Martin, the worst kind of middle-class, self-important boomer, making shouty video calls to his student son. Now wise BBC executives have commissioned this 15-minute taster to bring this socially inept twerp to a wider audience.
