New Bob tonight. Early reviews including one from Bob... The second series of one of Scotland’s finest comedies is a mouth-watering proposition. Beautifully written, perfectly acted it was a master class in how to squeeze real laughs out of viewers while still creating character and moving the story along. Brian Cox was outstanding as Bob, a man desperate for love, for money, for respect. A gem of an episode, it felt like two hours not half an hour such was the treasure crammed in – The Daily Record To transfer into sitcom, Forsyth had to create a world around Servant and in early episodes the Dundonian fantasist became a would-be politician. Now however, the writer has cleverly reinvented this pompous character and bombastic lump of Eastern Scottish arrogance to make him more believable, and more fragile. Frank is the Sancho Panza to Bob’s Don Quixote, the Rodney to his Del Boy, the Granville to his Arkwright. – The Herald Brian Cox gives his best comic performance to date. Watching him play the Broughty Ferry bampot, flouting local bye-laws with his cheeseburger van, is a delight. Well-written, well-acted and an all-round bit of all right. – The Daily Express thecourier.co.uk/news/showbiz/bob-servant-reviews-bob-servant-i-run-like-alan-wells-1.713022
