-
CriticsCurfew; One Day in October; DNA Journey
“Despite wasted opportunities, Curfew is a perfectly serviceable crime drama”

-
CriticsThe Hardacres; Alma’s Not Normal; Solar System
“If it’s untaxing, escapist fare you want, this will do fine”
-
CriticsShowtrial; Chimp Crazy; The Cleaner
“Tension is gradually built up as the trial proceeds, until it turns the knuckles white”

“Revealing study of what happens to an entitled TV star, fuelled by a belief that the public adores them, when the adulation is taken away”
-
CriticsJoan; State of Rage; Paddy and Chris
“The serviceable script doesn’t ask too much of the strong cast, but they produce as solid a piece of entertainment as you could ask for”

CriticsApples Never Fall; Celebrity SAS; Mortimer & Whitehouse
“It’ll sate anyone wanting their latest fix of waspy families and their scandalous secrets, but has little original to offer”
-
CriticsAll Creatures Great and Small; Frasier
“All Creatures Great and Small is back, comforting as a hot buttered crumpet”
