Press clippings

The 10%ers (Carlton) is a very metropolitan comedy. Table Eleven was about Pretentious Moi, a fashionable restaurant where you are only as good as your last voice-over. God knows what they make of it in Grampian. But anyone who has found a nasty surprise in a trendy sandwich or watched a film about a plasticine man whose head keeps falling off will consider it excellent satire and long overdue.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 10th July 1996

Now The 10%ers (Carlton), written and produced by the Red Dwarf team of Grant and Naylor for Comedy Playhouse, really intends to be funny and it really is. A whirling farce, turning faster and faster on the beautifully smooth spindle of Clive Francis, it could easily spin off into a series. The only clumsy thing about it seems to be the title.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 24th February 1993
