The Fast Show: Bloomin' Catchphrases review

So much more than a bunch of one-liners.

Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 29th August 2020

The Fast Show Blooming Catchphrases review: brilliant!

So much more than a standard clips show, this wonderful trip down memory lane proved to be as emotional as it was amusing.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 29th August 2020

The Fast Show characters on the Covid era

How are Swiss Toni, Ron Manager, Dave Angel, Ken and Kenneth, Brilliant, and a very drunk Rowley Birkin QC handling life in 2020? As The Fast Show returns for a special, its characters talk masks, pronouns and Meghan Markle.
