His innate inability to understand the whole picture makes it easy for him to dump on the grown-ups who have to actually take responsibility for managing the world.

Smug, smug and smug, has anyone mentioned he is smug. He actually makes me feel sorry for George W Bush

JDB, September 2006


Rory Bremner is the only person who can talk about politics without putting me into a semi comatose state. I laugh out loud at his sketches much to the annoyance of my husband.

Sheree Lyons, September 2006


I'm sorry to say I find the show insufferably smug, wide of the mark and not at all funny. Bremner used to be a slick and smart performer with his finger on the pulse, but now looks like the Prime Minister himself - old, grey, worn-out and unfunny. Comedy is a young man's business - time to pack it in and do something else

Ben Philips, May 2006


I learn more about the state of world politics from Bremner, Bird and Fortune than news can give me. Exceptional honesty, logic and wisdom tied up in a scarily funny package.

Tina Louise, February 2006


More pompous, smug and pretentious than all the politicians he 'satirises' on his feeble show - but sadly not half as funny. Come back Mike Yarwood all is forgiven

Lisa Norris, December 2005


I think the Bremner, Bird and Fortune series is excellent. The hour passes in a flash and I would like to see it on our screens all year. It is informative and highlights the indulgences of powerful people who seem to have forgotten that ethical and moral behaviour continues to apply to them. It is a pity the media seem unable to support this work.

Daniel Ogilvy, November 2005


His TV show drags on for too long, and should be cut down to no more than 40 minutes, with more of the two Johns and less of him. The first couple of shows in each new series are usually OK (more news to catch up on) but after that it can really be a struggle.

Graham Auty, October 2005
