British Comedy Guide, 19th November 2022The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk, series 2 review
The second series is as absurd as the first: a tightly-packed stream of zany inventiveness, attaching distinctive visual gags, off-the-wall singalongs and non-sequitur asides to a flimsy plot.

Reviews of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing (*****) and The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk (***).

I wish I could "unsee" this...
Ben Walsh, i Newspaper, 4th August 2019Review: The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk
Amid the trend for meaningful, realistic comedies such as Fleabag, how refreshing it is to have The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk back for a full(ish) series of unadulterated, visually stunning stupidity following a successful pilot last year.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd August 2019TV Review: The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk

Beyond The Joke, 3rd August 2019Clunkerdunk & comedy shorts are bringing silliness back
Once a ten-minute pilot from BBC's batch of shorts, Spencer Jones' oddball comedy harks back to the days of The Goon Show and Monty Python.
