Mammoth has received rave reviews.

Another added: ‘Love it.’ 

‘It worked, I enjoyed it,’ a third chimed in. 

Meanwhile a fourth wrote on IMBD: ‘This is a cracking comedy.’ 

Another said on the site: ‘I don’t think many could capture the essence of the 1970’s through the lens of a macho Sєxist PE teacher better than Mike Bubbins managed to achieve in this mini series. 

‘There were many genuine laugh out loud moments and some wonderful hillarious situations created by the writers.’

A sixth chimed in: ‘Very funny and well done.  His character is brilliantly done – very funny and retro and lovingly out of touch and relatable (and cheesy).’

Back in April 2024, Daily Mail’s Roland White gave the show three stars in a review. 

As well as writing TV shows, Mike has also done a number of stand-up shows. 

He’s also taken part in podcasts and radio.
