Scallywagga, BBC3
“A new sketch show that is more hit than miss, harnessing the power of the running gag almost as well as The Fast Show.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
Scallywagga, BBC3
“It wasn't hilarious but it wasn't stupid, cruel or crude, either.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
Scallywagga, BBC3
“Scallywagga is definitely put together with a lot of care and a nice sense of visual coherence. Unfortunately, it's gone to all this trouble without getting the script right first.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
Age of Terror, BBC2
“Age if Terror combines the best of broadcast journalism with the precision of short-story telling.”
Tim Teeman, The Times
Age of Terror, BBC2
“I still think we're within our rights to expect a history that joins the dots up a bit more.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
Age of Terror, BBC2
“For some reason, the BBC continues to trail Age of Terror as a history of 40 years of terrorism, when it actually just tells the story of four specific incidents, with very little attempt to knit them into a grander scheme. They don't have tell the stories well, though.”

True Stories: Our Daily Bread, More 4
“It was a gorgeously mounted, damning photography project [... ] Without narration this heavily stylised film told us nothing new about our era of overfarmed, overmechanised mass production.”
Tim Teeman, The Times
True Stories: Our Daily Bread, More 4
“It was just a stark, ruthless lesson that few of us would like to heed in the realities of mass food production.”
Serena Davies, The Daily Telegraph
Out of the Blue, BBC1
“Along with the feel-good, white teeth ensemble joshing, there are hints of more sinister storylines.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent
Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, BBC3
“It is a programme to make you weep.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
Holby City, BBC1
“More next week, and doubtless - yet inexplicably - for years to come.”
