Joe Wilkinson: 'I could never have written Fleabag'
The 8 Out of 10 Cats comedian on his love for old sitcoms, working with Motherland's Diane Morgan and his 'mundane' life at home.
Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 11th November 2019The latest addition to the Meet the Parents subgenre, this new Mike Leigh-flavoured three-parter sees Joe Wilkinson ferry new girlfriend Diane Morgan over to the Isle of Wight for what will prove an interminably long weekend at his folks', the ever-reliable Sue Johnston and Bobby Ball. Cue the casual bigotry.
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 12th November 2019The Cockfields review
Joe Wilkinson has become known as the weird one on panel shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. But in this all-too-relatable three-part comedy, he actually turns out to be the normal one at the centre of other people's oddness.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th November 2019The Cockfields, episode 1 review
A well-observed, gently addictive gem.
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 12th November 2019The Cockfields: the Royles with a middle class makeover
Thank gawd it's not just my family, then. The Cockfields (Gold), a three-part sitcom about a bloke taking his girlfriend home to meet his parents, is crammed with lines so true to life, it sometimes felt like a documentary.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 13th November 2019TV review: The Cockfields, series 1, episode 1
I can't wait to see what happens to them next, even if it isn't very much at all.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 13th November 2019
