CriticsEmma Barnett: Fighting Endometriosis
“It’s probable that for many viewers, this programme will be like a light going on in a pitch-black room”
-
CriticsTip Toe; Clarkson’s Farm
“A drama that takes wrong turns but is never less than bold and, in the round, deeply stirring. TV polemic is back, loud and proud”
-
CriticsMake That Movie; Star City
“We are coming out of a decade-long tailspin where television seemed afraid of comedy for the sake of comedy. Thank God that time has passed”
-
CriticsRichard Madeley: Inside The World’s Mega Prison; The Four Seasons S2
“The success of this show was down to Madeley the empath, the decent journalist with story-getting instincts. And a decent person too”
-
CriticsSpider-Noir, Who Do You Think You Are?
“If only all superhero shows were as serious about being silly”
-
CriticsDear England
”Some moments in the drama edge towards theatrical cheesiness, but Graham has guided his play from stage to screen with verve and conviction”
-
CriticsThe Boroughs; Under Suspicion: Kate McCann; The Boys
“An unexpectedly entertaining mix of adventure and wonder, drama and humour”
-
-
CriticsLucy Worsley Investigates: The American Revolution
“There will doubtless have lots of specials about the American Revolution, Worsley’s is a fresh, upbeat and economical canter through the facts”
-
CriticsDeath Valley
“Death Valley is supremely comfortable in its own skin – entirely undemanding but contentedly so”
-
CriticsMorecambe and Wise: the Lost Tapes; Dutton Ranch; Outlander
“Crucially, the episode is funny despite missing the colour and glitz of those more polished 70s series”
-
CriticsNemesis; Only Child; Good Omens
“Because it judges its own chaos levels perfectly, it’s ridiculously entertaining”
-
CriticsIan Fleming and the Curse of James Bond; Wrestling With Trump; Off Campus
“For anyone who loves Bond it’s a must”
-
CriticsChildren of the Blitz
“It will have spoken to so many family stories where the impact of the Blitz can still be felt”
-
-
CriticsLegends; Amandaland
“This is glossy, big-budget drama filled with adrenaline — and a mighty fine early 1990s soundtrack”
-
CriticsThis Is a Bomb: The Nevada Casino Heist; Berlusconi: Condemned to Win
“If ever a true-crime tale deserved a weird retelling, though, it was this one”
-
CriticsNumber One Fan; Making Life on Earth: Attenborough’s Greatest Adventure
“It is very entertaining. Ludicrous but moreish”
-
CriticsPrisoner; The House Of The Spirits
“A half-decent cat-and-mouse has to work very hard not to grab you, and Prisoner is too well-built to fail completely”
-
CriticsA Taste For Murder; Should I Marry a Murderer?
“Delivers all the essentials and several of the garnishes”
