Reception to the series was hugely positive, with coverage in The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Independent,[3] and comedy website Giggle Beats.[4] The Times praised its ‘breakneck nonsense and hilarity’ and described it as ‘a thoroughly entertaining 15 minutes’. Total TV Guide magazine commented, ‘Do we really need another madcap male comedy trio? Well, if they’re as good as Clever Peter, then yes we do’.[5]
