Radio Times review

A sparkly, disposable bauble that reunites 24: Live Another Day co-stars Stephen Fry and Kiefer Sutherland, but in roles that could hardly be more different. Sutherland is a suburban dad and husband who's not very good at either. With Christmas coming, red bills are piling up and his failure as head of his family is about to be revealed. He needs money. The guy next door (Kevin McNally) is a pathetically seething cuckold who has money, and wants a nasty favour in return...

Fry is the magic element in a half-hour caper with a whiff of It's a Wonderful Life. Don't invest too heavily, but the crispness of Fry and Sutherland's long scene together - and the now-rare chance to see Fry flex his comic acting muscles - makes up for the tale not amounting to much.

Kiefer Sutherland interview

Kiefer Sutherland is swapping high-octane thrills for a festive comedy with Stephen Fry.

Playhouse Presents: Marked, Sky Arts 1, review: 'froth'

Though Kiefer Sutherland and Stephen Fry make a pleasing pair, this festive short doesn't amount to much.
