Press
A charming new sitcom about hapless pizza delivery drivers Josh and Ricky (Samson Kayo and Theo Barklem-Biggs) attempting a get-rich-quick scheme. Standout performances in this opening episode also include Josh's acid-tongued mum (Shola Adewusi) and the tragic and hilarious Scott (Phil Daniels).
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 15th May 2019I talk to Samson Kayo & Theo Barklem-Biggs
"I got my confidence from watching Michaela Coel's Chewing Gum and seeing how a black girl from London has created a phenomenon of a show."
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 13th May 2019TV preview: Sliced, Dave
Sliced, co-written by seasoned hand Phil Bowker who worked on PhoneShop, is only three episodes - being screened over consecutive nights - but like the best Italian food it leaves you wanting more.
