Reception

Initial reviews (from advance copies sent to critics) were positive, Ron Hewit in the Radio Times calling it "terrific",^[2] and Gillian Reynolds in the Telegraph suggested it was very funny if, along with her, one likes "Scotsmen plus a bustling conjunction of the real with the surreal".^[3]
