The IndependentSean O'GradyJun 5, 2024
Season 1 Review: Alan Carr’s new autobiographical sitcom, Changing Ends, is that most joyous of things: a smart, inventive, honest and charming coming-of-age story. It’s also, in the case of Carr, the making of a national treasure. Read full review

Season 2 Review: There was real sadness at the end in the loving tribute to Simon Carlyle, Carr’s co-writer, who died last year. But in a bleak world, this sitcom is a small splash of silliness and joy. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Season two wisely plays to the strengths it showed first time round. Young Savell’s uncanny evocation of what we imagine a young Alan must have been like is so convincing it’s almost like we’re somehow watching Carr himself. Read full review
