Mack and McCausland can do this kind of thing in their sleep. Which is why it was probably best watched half-asleep, too. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian Dec 24

Stretched a bit thin -- it is an hour’s worth of material at best spread over 90 minutes... But Bad Tidings has its moments. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator Dec 19
Viewed objectively, Bad Tidings is drama by numbers of the most blatant kind. Viewed pleasantly drunk, I concede, it might just hit the spot. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Andrew G Dec 1 It's mechanically directed. Nobody is believable. Some of the acting is dreadful. Every joke seems to be mistimed. The script is awful. And the main villain is utterly unconvincing. 1.5 stars because the stars are likeable.

See more Noah A Dec 27 Family and I watched and enjoyed - silly christmas fun See more Pepper D Dec 25 We really enjoyed Bad Tidings. A great Christmas special and would recommend watching it. Chris and Lee are a great duo. See more Dec 25 We are both avid fans of both Lee and Chris. We felt a little disappointed by "Bad Tidings", smile worthy but not LOL.
