"…more Enid Blyton than Jurassic Park." Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.
Britain's Lost World, BBC1
"Their [Kate Humble, Dan Snow, Steve Backshall] gung-ho camaraderie, high spirits and jolly japes make it more Enid Blyton than Jurassic Park. Three Go Wild On St Kilda."
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Britain's Lost World, BBC1
"When it wasn't trying to convince you that it was a summer action blockbuster, this was an interesting programme."
Robert Hanks, The Independent
Britain's Lost World, BBC1
"For nature lovers there were gannets, lots of them, and other seabirds and breathtaking photography."
Tim Teeman, The Times
The Flapping Track, BBC4
"While Nick Bennett filmed it beautifully, crisp colours under floodlights, it was spoiled by some Guy Ritchie mannerisms – freeze frames, an over-loud rock soundtrack."
Robert Hanks, The Independent
The Flapping Track, BBC4
"Although it wasn't openly funny, this first-rate documentary had a flavour of the old Ealing comedies."
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
