'... this felt like a history lesson for the Facebook generation'. Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

Heist, BBC4
“Subtle this ain't. It is very, very silly. It's also way too long. But I laughed out loud on several occasions.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Heist, BBC4
“I think it's possible that Heist won't have appealed to historical purists [... ] There was the odd good joke, though.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent

Heist, BBC4
“... a bizarre experiment.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

Heist, BBC4
“Stuffed with cartoons, toilette humour, anachronistic drug references, rock music and downright silliness, this felt like a history lesson for the Facebook generation.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Heist, BBC4
“... proved an embarrassingly desperate attempt to demonstrate that Hey, Studying the Middle Ages Can be Fun.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph

Property Ladder, C4
“They employ whirling dervishes as camera operators. Round and round we go - Robert, his cottage, the other house, the garden, everything is spinning. The whole experience is like having an extended waltzer ride with Sarah [Beeney].”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

The Apprentice, BBC1
“... this was the most functional, and therefore most boring, episodes of this series.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

James Bond: The True Story, Five
“... infinitely better than last week's Indiana Jones: The True Story - largely because much of it seemed true.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph
