Press
It's hard for me to be impartial about Psychoville. Shearsmith and Pemberton are about my age and seem to share almost exactly the same frame of cultural reference [...] Ultimately if you don't like this, then there's plenty of other comedy shows on television, although I can guarantee that only one of them will feature an homage to Dennis Potter's Brimstone and Treacle, and it won't be Life of Riley.
