Russell Brand On the Road, BBC4
“It’s not especially illuminating, and mostly totally infuriating. And yet -Russell Brand is hard not to like.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Russell Brand On the Road, BBC4
“ -funny, engaging, moving, mucky and intelligent (yes, really all those things.)”
Tim Teeman, The Times
Russell Brand On the Road, BBC4
“Loose and self-indulgent and prone to metaphysical ramblings, Russell Brand on the Road mirrored the qualities of Kerouac’s book but was a good deal funnier.”

Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS? One Year On, BBC2
“ -Robinson (perhaps understandably) proved rather better at diagnosing the problems than at suggesting a cure.”
James Walton, The Times
Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS? - One Year On, BBC2
“One thing became clear as this programme unfolded. Fixing the NHS is only addressing the symptoms. If Gerry Robinson has got some spare time next year, he should try fixing the Government.”

Can Gerry Robinson Fix the NHS? - One Year On, BBC2
“The NHS wastes money, is sinking under its owned botched bureaucracy, right? So, why [ -] did my sympathy go to the managers and bureaucrats, while my bewilderment was saved for Sir Gerry and his directionless bluster?”
Tim Teeman, The Times
The Secret Millionaire, Channel 4
“Chaudry’s slow reconnection with his roots added a definite and often touching edge to what would otherwise have been a fairly standard episode.”
James Walton, The Times

Patricia Wynn Davies, The Times
The Pink Floyd Story: Which One’s Pink?, BBC1
“They are honest and thoughtful, a bit shy -Sure, there is a smugness there, as there is in their music. It’s certainly not hard to empathise with Johnny Rotten and his famous “I hate Pink Floyd” T-shirt.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
The Spice Girls On Trial, Five
“This is not a likeable documentary, however. No horses’ mouths this time, just rent-a-gob donkeys.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
The End of the World Cult, Channel 4
“His acolytes looked on in creepy adoration, like dogs waiting for a tid-bit to be dropped. The end of the world has now been rescheduled, due to God’s lack of interest in the first one.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent
