Radio Times review

It's Carole Middleton's turn with Prince George today and the heir to the throne is a lot more of a handful than he was with Granny Camilla in previous episodes.

Poor Carole can't help curtseying to her grandson in another pitch-perfect impersonation from the wonderful Trace. Her Dame Maggie Smith is also on form, as the acting grand dame pitches for a part in a "muscle car franchise...Peevish Max...one of those".

But once again a misfire skit satirising Ripper-style street tours highlights the familiar sketch show malaise when the supporting material fails to match up to the peerless set pieces. It's a drag, even when Tracey Ullman is doing the dragging.

Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 2nd February 2016
