Reception
[edit]Anita Singh of The Telegraph welcomed the gentleness of the show amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The Independent's Rupert Hawksley praised Jones' performance, but noted that the 10pm weeknight slot harmed a programme comparable to Mr. Bean.[3] Both awarded the show a 3 star review.[2][3]
