Reviews

Steve O'Brien
New Statesman
A brilliantly brief series that came in, rearranged the furniture, splashed the walls with colour and then f---ed off. Punk TV at its most deliciously boisterous and subversive.

Series one, in all its filthy, glamorous, Mancunian glory, is a knock-out.

Guardian
Davies created a show for gay men to laugh at and feel included by that was daring and addictive enough to ensnare anyone who simply loved good TV.
