“In part, I admit to irritation that although he [Dr Brian Cox] was born in time for the 1969 Moon landing, he looked about 22 and dressed to match.

Andrew Billen, The Times

“We weren't much the wiser by the end, except to understand a bit better how limited our collective wisdom still is. Which isn't the worst outcome a science programme can have.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent

Andrew Billen, The Times

“... no longer the sensation it once was.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph

“This country [Britain] in Citizen Smith isn't half as pretty as the one in Coast, or all those other shows. But it may be more relevant. I recognise it at least.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Medicine Men Go Wild, C4
“This series is beginning to feel like little more than a string of “look-at-this” moments. They're very lookable-at, for sure. But, what's behind them? What are they trying to say?”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
