About the film BAFTA’s
"I reserve especial gratitude and imagination for Ivor Baddiel and Phil Kerr, whose work on the scripts was so skillful it made people think I'd written every line myself." Stephen Fry, 2018
About Celebs Go Dating
“What's undeniable, though, is that Rob (Beckett) and his co-writer Phil Kerr have managed to take the worst-looking idea on television and turn it into a fixture by simply providing clever, no-punches-pulled commentary.” Ally Ross, The Sun, 2019.
