Press

Review: Mum, episode 6, BBC2

Well, we say final episode but as anyone who has been following this brilliant series by Stefan Golaszewski will probably know by now there is going to be a second series. A good decision from the BBC, flying the flag for a quality comedy that may not be laugh a minute but has bags of nuance and excellent performances from its ensemble cast.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th June 2016

Mum had a masterful send-off for a sitcom - review

Bar the odd irresistible pursuit of a gag for the gag's sake, the scripts by Stefan Golaszewski purred as satisfyingly as anything in The Royle Family.

Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 17th June 2016
