“Some of the finest chicken-hallucination humour I have ever encountered.”

Plebs

“Suffice to say, it was some of the finest chicken-hallucination humour I have ever encountered.”
Alex Hardy, The Times

“Very funny, very silly. The Inbetweeners moved to ancient Rome, basically. Inbetweenus?”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Cat Wars, BBC1

“I do accept, of course, that people being indifferent to cats wouldn’t have made a good documentary whereas Cat Wars was, in its own furry way, fairly good.”
Matt Baylis, The Daily Express

Glue, E4

“A young cast doesn’t always mean a good cast, as the Hollyoaks forest of wooden acting attests, but Glue is filled with talent. It’s the obvious, but as yet unrealised potential of some of these actors that makes them so thrilling to watch.”
Ellen E Jones, The Independent

Derren Brown: Infamous, C4

“At this point in Derren Brown’s showman career, if he turned out to have genuine psychic powers it would actually be less impressive.”
Ellen E Jones, The Independent

Storyville: The Himalayan Boy and the Tv Set, BBC4

“It’s not just the story of a little boy, it’s the story of a little country undergoing monumental change. There is some sadness about. The diggers tear at the hills, and workmen put up overhead cables, and the scenery will never be the same again. A way of life that has been around for centuries is suddenly disappearing.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“What a gentle, elegiac portrait of a vanishing world.”
Matt Baylis, The Daily Express
