“Roughly equivalent to beating yourself around the head with a rolled up copy of Heat magazine.”

“The sort of programme best viewed while reclining on an antique loveseat, wearing a tassled hat.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

Wine, BBC4
“I doubt whether any of this would have engaged for more than five minutes those viewers not greatly interested in wine, but for those of us who are, it was engrossing stuff.”
Brian Viner, The Independent

Moses Jones, BBC2
“Although perfectly watchable, the script was peppered with unlikely contrivances, the musings on cultural identity felt forced, and the occasionally over-ripe dialogue jarred against the ostensibly realistic setting. Nevertheless, this was a worthwhile attempt to do something different in the cop show genre.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman
