It's a gentle, warm affair, and though if it's a series you've not had any time for then this latest instalment won't win you over. But for fans it's a delightful half hour spent in the company of two masters of comedy, who talk about a number of fascinating subjects and four series in even though the concept is a simple one it's not something I'm getting bored of in the slightest, to the extent that it will be a real shame if they don't ever do any more after this.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 4th March 2020
Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan are back to play lightly fictionalised versions of themselves for the fourth outing of their series, a whirlwind recreation of Odysseus's 10-year trip through Greece. Beginning in Assos in Turkey and undertaking another series of gourmet meals, there are, of course, the impressions of Ronnie Corbett, Stan Laurel and Tom Hardy to contend with, as the pair bicker and meander their way through discussions on the nature of acting and the potential press response to their deaths.

A more authentic, softer side to men is being reflected and celebrated on screen in ways it never used to be. Ben Dowell gets a warm, fuzzy glow.
