“Sarah Silverman is smart-funny. She's so clever that she can do race in a clever way, and sexuality and Jewishness. Gingerness, even. Stuff like that. And yet she can also do fart jokes. Isn't that so perfect?
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“She has a bat's ear for American schmaltz and a vampire's teeth for attacking the exhibitionism that lies beneath it.”

Extraordinary Animals in the Womb, C4
“It was too long - very few documentaries are an-hour-and-a-half interesting.”

“Here was something rare, a nature programme still with the wow factor.”

“It was, as the title implied, a freak show rather than a natural history lesson.”

“You rarely get so much food for thought from a nature programme.”

“But while the photography was often amazing, it wasn't made clear how much of it was actually computer-generated. There certainly was some ground-breaking ultrasound footage filmed inside the wombs, but the programme succumbed to the urge to blur over the division between what is known and what could actually be shown by adding quite a few animated scenes.”

“It's hard to know what to make of this odd story, which relies on the characters acting in unbelievable ways. The dialogue is strangely compelling but makes little sense, while the increasingly convoluted storylines are pushed further and further to fill up airtime.”

What to Eat Now, BBC2
“A very enjoyable programme it was.”
Brian Viner, The Independent
Wired, ITV1
“Continues to deliver.”
