“A kind of Saga holiday version of Celebrity Big Brother.” Read on for the verdict on last night’s TV.

The Young Ones

THE YOUNG ONES, BBC1

“However psychobabbly you find the concept, it’s a very neat bit of commissioning. Everyone loves grans and granddads. Everyone loves nostalgia…and (nearly) everyone loved Big Brother when it did the proper sociological experiment thing.”
Alex Hardy, The Times

“Both entertaining and fascinating. Old people: they’re brilliant, who even knew it? More of them on television please. They’re less predictable than the young, and can get away with a little more inappropriateness.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Not really an experiment at all then, but modestly watchable for all that, as a kind of Saga holiday version of Celebrity Big Brother.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

“This was a fascinating spectacle.”
Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express

“It’s food porn combined with personality porn…Yum”
Alex Hardy, The Times
