If you loved The Kevin Bishop Show on Channel 4 - the one featuring short, sharp clips from lots of spoof TV channels and programmes - you may have liked this identical twin but, like us, would probably have felt it was a lot less successful.
The Custard TV, 7th February 2009First Night: No Signal on FX
Can homegrown FX show No Signal live up to US imports such as The Wire and Family Guy?
Steve Busfield, The Guardian, 6th February 2009Spot-on satire of multichannel's outer reaches filled with output you could well believe existed if you clicked high enough on your electronic programme guide. America's Next Serial Killer, Pimp Up My Wife and the Child Minder Channel highlight the comic skills of creators Pete Cain and Louis Bogue, but you do have to forgive their occasional slip from vicious humour into bad taste.
