'I had prepared to hate this programme.' Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV

Baby Bible Bashers, C4
“I had prepared to hate this programme - its flippant title suggested it was going to be little more than some smug media-types abusing Christians in a way they'd never dare to treat the followers of any other faith. For the most part, though, it was better than that.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Baby Bible Bashers, C4
“Baby Bible Bashers wasn't just a freak show. It raised provocative questions about religion.”
Helen Rumbelow, The Times

The Big Bang Theory, C4
“One of those American sitcoms that doesn't make the transatlantic crossing at all well [... ] How any scheduler could have put anything so feeble in this slot, effectively pushing both Skins and the long-awaited terrestrial airing of The Sopranos' final run into the late-night zone, beggars belief.”
Gerard O'Donovan, The Daily Telegraph

The Big Bang Theory, C4
“Not so much The Odd Couple as The Dud Couple.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

The Big Bang Theory, C4
“There are some OK gags buried beneath the over-emphatic laugh track.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Dawn Gets Naked, BBC3
“Dawn Gets Naked had one of those titles that seem calculated to attract the lonelier male viewer.”
Michael Deacon, The Daily Telegraph

Bizarre ER, BBC3
“It's the television equivalent of looking at those books of freaky medical conditions. You know it's wrong - so wrong - yet it's still totally fascinating.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
