“My worry is that when you take the pig out of the equation, and out of the house – which is what’s going to happen now – the laughs will go with it. It’s become a bit too predictable, too old-fashioned sitcom, too gentle, too unanarchic.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Andrew Billen, The Times

“It began as what looked like a corporate celebration of the charity’s 50th anniversary, full of fond memories and approving sentiments. But by the time it had finished it had become a lot more nuanced and ambiguous.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
