"Sky comedy is hitting its stride, but this vehicle for Jessica Chaffin and Jamie Denbo's bickering Jewish matriarchs feels like a sideways step. The comic chat-show is fast resembling a dead-end format, it's a schlep at an hour and the so-so line-up for this opener doesn't help. That said, there are a few belly laughs, and kudos to the hosts for making an old pro like Frank Skinner look truly uncomfortable at the sex-obsessed, scatalogical line of questioning. Dirty old cove Charles Dance, meanwhile, positively revels in the prurience, and Alfie Boe looks shellshocked when he isn't hooting with bewilderment. The ad libs are delivered with more conviction than the scripted stuff (and enough with the 'outrageous' Holocaust gags), but there's certainly something to work with here; the prospect of Will Arnett next week is delicious."

Who have been your favourite British guests on Ronna & Beverly?
Jamie Denbo (Beverly): Charles Dance was probably our favourite. We also loved Claudia Winkleman, Sue Perkins, Alan Cumming, Frank Skinner and David Walliams. And we were excited to meet Stephen Mangan — I'm a huge Episodes fan. He's made a career out of being a sort of delightful, shell-shocked character who has a lot of chaos around him.
