“... beautifully observed and thrilling to look at.” Read on for the critics' full verdict on the weekend's TV.

Miss Austen Regrets, BBC1
“... beautifully observed and thrilling to look at, with performances that left me weak with admiration.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Miss Austen Regrets, BBC1
“... it was perhaps more revealing about our idea (or dream) of Jane Austen than about the woman herself.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph

Miss Austen, BBC1
“... a less than likeable take on the talent behind such classics as Pride And Prejudice and Emma.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Miss Austen Regrets, BBC1
“The drama by the director Jeremy Lovering [... ] quickly turned the traditional approach to Austen worship on its head.”
Kevin Maher, The Times

Pulling, BBC3
“It has been the comedy treat of the week by a mile.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Pulling, BBC3
“The show is definitely less viewer-friendly than Gavin & Stacey - i.e. it's horrible rather than nice. Nonetheless in its own black way, it's equally good.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph

How to Build a Cathedral, BBC4
“... paid tribute to the silent heroes of the medieval period.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Page Three Teens, BBC3
“The show simply stumbled along, haphazardly sticking asides about the dangers of paedophile grooming next to leering close-ups of Chelsea's chest.”
Kevin Maher, The Times

Love Soup, BBC1
“A series that admirably denies itself a lot of facile satisfactions but that still, nine episodes in, seems not to have found a confident rhythm.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent
