Press

Nice Day At The Office (BBC1), a new comedy series, is encouragingly cast. Timothy Spall, John Sessions and Anna Massey must have found it promising though only a studio audience could enjoy this sort of thing: "I swear I'll report you to Human Resources, you disgusting drunken pervert." "Shut up you dried-up old bag."

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th September 1994
