Stephen Merchant directed the initial screening, which featured the actors Adam Buxton and Steve John Shepherd.
[3] In a mixed review, Rupert Smith of The Guardian wrote, "Any programme that involves puking, guitar solos and incredibly stupid drummers is always going to get a thumbs-up from me, but I wished The Last Chancers had decided whether it was vicious satire, feelgood comedy or laddish high-jinks.
"[2] Referring to Valerie Edmond, The Sunday Times television critic John Dugdale criticized the show, writing, "Underused on TV since The Crow Road, Edmond is a welcome signing; but the comedy's problem is its hero, who suffers as many humiliations as Brent and Alan Partridge but lacks their compelling and richly imagined awfulness.
[5] In a positive review, Gabrielle Starkey of The Times said the show is "well observed and written", "funny", and found every character to be "well-defined and instantly recognisable without being total cliches".
