Lottie Young London Evening Standard 01/13/2020
You know what would have been funny, though? A remotely original and relevant show. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 12/31/2019
3/5
Henry Lewis's shambolic festive story was artfully physical, clever and childish enough to work. Go to Full Review Tim Dowling Guardian 12/27/2019
4/5
The Goes Wrong Show would, I think, wring laughs from just about anyone, young or old, sober or not so much. Go to Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek 09/25/2023
4/5
If you love plays of any genre and enjoy a good parody, you can't go wrong here. I'd love to see any of these on stage and was inspired to watch on Broadway HD (Amazon Prime Video) after seeing this clever ensemble on stage in their Peter Pan parody. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ed L @ed65love Jan 11 Pitiful! Whoever thought of this shouldn't be in comedy. Embarrassing. I'm so glad I didn't waste more than a few minutes twice. Just awful. As they say: I can write better than this! So I did. You can, too! Watch something else folks, just about ANYTHING else. See more John K @WQCMI Dec 29 The series had brilliant comedy, a great cast and interesting stories included in the show. See more Tjerk v Oct 16 I laughed so hard it hurt. See more Allaiyah W Jul 5 A shame this only got 2 seasons. Good shows die young & crap ones live on like zombies. See more James G 11/01/2024 As a show for 10 year olds it actually works quite well, but it makes some of the more adult jokes and innuendo feel oddly jarring. As an adult it's predictable and silly and the odd laugh doesn't come anywhere near often enough for me. See more Read all reviews

Details Episode 2 Aired Jan 3, 2020 The Pilot (Not the Pilot) The society decides to stage a World War II drama rarely performed because of its historical inaccuracy and poor research; director Chris plays Rufus Heal, a dashing pilot reduced to a desk job cracking German codes.
