“The Wrong Door was light on laughs - which is unfortunate in a comedy sketch show.” Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

The Wrong Door, BBC3
“The show is hit and miss - Superhero Tryouts, an X Factor for wannabe superheroes, was laboured and directionless - but the writers Ben Wheatley and Jack Cheshire (who also direct and produce) have at least originated a novel and bizarre show.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

The Wrong Door, BBC3
“An entertaining new sketch show.”
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian

The Wrong Door, BBC3
“Another half-baked sketch show? Oh BBC3, you spoil us! The only thing that separates The Wrong Door from the rest is its heavy reliance on CGI. It seems that the programme-makers are only using this technology simply because they can afford to do so. It certainly doesn't add anything to the agonisingly poor material.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

The Wrong Door, BBC3
“The Wrong Door was light on laughs - which is unfortunate in a comedy sketch show.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

SuperDoctors, BBC1
“This is the TV equivalent of slow food: thoughtful yet satisfying.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

SuperDoctors, BBC1
“In the chattering courtyard of TV boffins, Professor Robert Winston is the true reigning monarch.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

Accidental Heroes, BBC1
“This format is so blatantly phoney that some of its phoniness rubs off on the stories. Even though you know they're taken from real life, they feel less involving than, say, an episode of Holby City.
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Comedy Lab: Olivia Lee's Naughty Bits, C4
“This was very very funny, if you find Carrie [Bradshaw] to be beyond irritating.”
Tim Teeman, The Times
