Sara Pascoe interview
The comedian talks to Isobel Lewis about playing herself in her new sitcom opposite King Joffrey from Game Of Thrones, the future of left-wing comedy on the BBC and why society sees people who have abortions as selfish.
Isobel Lewis, The Independent, 20th October 2020TV: Out Of Her Mind, BBC Two
Sara Pascoe's self-penned new comedy is not backwards in coming forwards. As she says at the start. "I am going to destroy your faith in love." Mrs Brown's Boys this ain't then. But it might just be my new all-time favourite sitcom.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th October 2020Sara Pascoe interview
She put her love life on stage. Now the comedian has put her family on TV in new sitcom Out Of Her Mind. What on earth was that like for her parents and siblings, asks Dominic Maxwell.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 20th October 2020Review: Out Of Her Mind
As opening lines go, 'My name is Sara Pascoe and I'm going to destroy your faith in love' is as bold and unambiguous a statement of intent as you can get. And hardly the usual manifesto for what's ostensibly a sitcom about relationships.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th October 2020Out Of Her Mind review
Continuing the recent surge of strong, female-led series, this six-parter highlights the distressing side of long-term singledom, via sharp, fourth wall-shattering observations.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 20th October 2020Out of Her Mind, BBC2, review
Sara Pascoe's series is a bitty mix of jokes, science and skating.
Kasia Delgado, i Newspaper, 20th October 2020Out Of Her Mind, Series 1 review
Comedian Sarah Pascoe's subversive, frank new series about family, relationships and the female body unpicks all sitcom expectations.
Helen Brown, The Telegraph, 20th October 2020Review: Out Of Her Mind
There's a nasty sexist streak throughout: all the women except Sara just guzzle white wine between their Zumba classes. And what Juliet Stevenson is doing in this sitcom sludge is hard to imagine, unless she wanted to prove she can do an Essex accent.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 21st October 2020Out Of Her Mind review
Rollerblading ringmaster of confessional comedy.
Ben Dowell, The Times, 21st October 2020Out Of Her Mind: sitcom has cynicism that wears thin
The comedian's new BBC show follows other confessionals like Fleabag and I Hate Suzie, but it isn't entertaining because you don't see yourself in it, says Charlotte Cripps.
Charlotte Cripps, The Independent, 21st October 2020Out Of Her Mind takes us down the rabbit hole
In spite of Sara repeatedly reminding us it is her programme, she has written a script that allows the entire cast to shine.
Kate Stone, Funny Women, 21st October 2020TV review: Out Of Her Mind Series 1 Episode 1
The whole series is available to watch on iPlayer too and given how fantastic this opening episode is I imagine I'll have binged it all within an exceedingly short time, as Pascoe has created something truly special here.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 21st October 2020TV review: Out Of Her Mind
Sara Pascoe tries to destroy your faith in love with new sitcom.
Iain Leggat, The Scotsman, 24th October 2020
