“It takes me straight back, without feeling in the least bit nostalgic.”

Royal Wedding

“Proper, grown-up drama, featuring actors chosen for their talent rather than their looks, an intelligent script and a sensitive directorial hand… Crucially, it managed to avoid too many of the clichés inherent in any retelling of the Eighties.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“This does for me what Ashes To Ashes fails to: it takes me straight back, without feeling in the least bit nostalgic.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“For all the sparks of comedy, though, Royal Wedding was overwhelmingly downbeat, a tale of hope suffocated by hopelessness.”
Brian Viner, The Independent

“Yet another show set in that forgettable decade…For sheer warmth and honesty though you couldn’t fault it.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
