What do the Must Watch reviewers think of 'The Paper?'

Must Watch reviewers Ali Plumb and Hayley Campbell share what they think about 'The Paper.'

Speaking to Sarah-Jane Mee, Ali said: "If you like a sit-com and if you miss those halcyon days of the mid noughts, where it was just twenty-two episodes, there’s enough of something here, there’s enough charm here and there, if you can get over the whacky colleagues sickness that does occasionally become a little too present."

Hayley said: "This does feel like a joke that was told twenty years ago, because it was, and the US Office was a great show, but I think only after it morphed into its own thing after it ran out of UK Office to copy."

"I think if you are a fan of that, you might find this is a little weak and dated to you."

"It feels a bit weak and dated to me."
