The List: “a ruddy, bloody funny show.”

A glowing four-star review from The List for The Never Man:

A quality spoof from hammy trio

This positively undreadful show spoofs Bond and Hitchcock movies, Dirty Harry and The Prisoner in a delightfully strange hour of stupidness. Set in the theme park of Beef Island, Paul (an 83/4-year-old small boy, played by the giraffe-like Humphrey Ker) must help his hardnose Northern cop friend (David Reed) crack crime, and track down the mysterious Dr Lovable. Paul’s precocious worldly-wisdom brings plenty laughs, as he announces he is ‘essentially unshockable’ in a little deadpan squeal. [...] Quality performances all round, and a script imagined up by a twisted, comedy genius make this a ruddy, bloody funny show.
