Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

The Choice, More 4
“It's a very good documentary.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Dead Set, E4
“While hardly groundbreaking in genre terms - was an entertaining riot of jolts and gore.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

Britannia High, ITV1
“I don't mind that it's shamelessly cashing in on the High School Musical phenomenon or giving a plug to real-life pop stars, like Girls Aloud. I just don't know why it's not on at tea time.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

The American Future: a History, BBC2
“An excellent series in which Schama has traced the roots of some of America's deepest instincts, could also be viewed as the longest and most thoughtful party political broadcast the BBC has ever transmitted.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

Timewatch: The Last Day of World War One, BBC2
“Bright and amiable as ever, Michael Palin just struck the wrong note for this sort of material. What it needed was someone to make us angry.”
