'This was a frankly interminable celebration.' Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

The Frost Report is Back!, BBC4
“The Frost Report still wears fairly well.”
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian

The Frost Report is Back!, BBC4
“This was a frankly interminable celebration presented by Sir David Frost himself, in which original contributors recalled how much they owed him.”
Brian Viner, The Independent

Bear Grylls: Mission Impossible, C4
“I found it hard to see all this as much more than a pair of Hooray Henrys with too much breeding and not enough sense contriving a challenge that might have been kindled on the playing fields of Eton.”
Brian Viner, The Independent

Alternative Therapies, BBC2
“This was a fair programme and, rarely for a fair programme, interesting at the same time.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

The Fixer, ITV1
“... makes a welcome change from dreary, generic cop shows like Holby Blue.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

The Colour of Magic, Sky One
“... better than Sky's previous Discworld adaptation, the story more clearly told.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

iCarly, Nickelodeon
“Unfortunately, the gags weren't funny.”
Michael Deacon, Daily Telegraph
