TV Critics: Gotham; The Walking Dead; Big Dreams, Small Spaces; The Art of Gothic

“As its an origin series, familiar characters are considerably younger, or merely a twinkle in someone’s eyes.”
David Stephenson, The Daily Express

“(Gotham) continues to be an ace hoot. It really shouldn’t be, as it’s much the most violent thing on the small screen.”
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph

“The Walking Dead often excels at action-packed high drama, but it’s the quieter episodes that really reinforce the reality of life in a post-apocalyptic world – the idea that survival is one long slog.”
Rebecca Hawkes, The Telegraph

“Perhaps Monty could do with being a tiny bit less nice himself. Less nice, more badass, whiter jacket, more horse-mounted. In order to live up to the name. Not that anyone – Yorkshire women, Yorkshire men, Sussex gravel spreaders, narrators, anyone anywhere – is complaining. He’s Monty Don.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian    

“Graham-Dixon did exactly what an art critic should do, and made me want to explore further the works he touched upon. He looked exactly both backwards and forwards.”
Alex Hardy, The Times
