Freezing
Reviewer: Tom Leins
Issue 103 May 2008
Review: After debuting on BBC4 back in 2007, Freezing aired on BBC2 earlier this year to mixed reviews. The show took a lot of flak in some quarters for its blatant ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ fixation, and whilst the parallels are obvious for all to see, it is still a worthwhile exercise in modern Brit-com. Publishing assistant Matt (Hugh Bonneville) and washed-up American actress Elizabeth (Elizabeth McGovern) realise that they are no longer young and desirable and do their best to repackage themselves as hip and trendy. There are star-studded cameos from Richard E. Grant, Anthony Head and many more, but with just three short episodes on offer, it may be wise to wait until the rather lofty £19.99 price tag is slashed to a more affordable figure…
