5/5
Sure, it’s a show about a robot, but it’s shot through with a love and care that are entirely human. Go to Full Review Nicholas Harris New Statesman Jul 23
If Diane Morgan has produced something without the bite of Philomena Cunk series, Ann Droid has humbler virtues, and is no worse for them. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Jul 22

It is daft, but deceptively deep. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Aug 3
4/5
Ann Droid is funny, painful and shrewdly observed. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Jul 31
What they forgot to include, unfortunately, was quite enough of the comedy element... It’s so busy being sensitive and moving and poignant about senescence, loneliness, death and loss that it doesn’t dare go in hard enough on the jokes. Go to Full Review James Hibbs Radio Times Jul 31
3/5
While Johnston is an endearing lead, Morgan’s performance is the real selling point. As she’s previously demonstrated in Cunk and Mandy, she delivers another comedic masterclass. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Deann S @2gcuqkrntv 1d Funny, lots of heart and a touch of science fiction blended together in a way the British do well. See more Kim M @Maseycat 2d Brilliant!!! Such an original series, with so many laugh out loud moments. See more Su N @CallMeBetty 3d Quite a slow and mellow comedy to start, but increasingly endearing and touching as it goes. By the end I was devastated it was over. See more Steven B @RT87522530 4d This series is terrible, unfunny and I find the acting annoying I at the same time BBC has cancelled live at the Apollo they are not heading in the right direction. A complete loss See more John L @RT46290889 6d If a comedy can legit make me tear up on the first episode, that's an Emmy winner right there. See more Ronald S @Ron44 6d Dull, boring and Sue Johnstone deserves better See more Read all reviews
