CriticsTV Critics: Boy George’s 1970s; 200mph at Le Mans; Wild West; Victoria; Michael Palin Meets Jan Morris
“There have been quite a few programmes looking at the social and cultural impact of pop music – but none with such a charismatic, opinionated and downright entertaining presenter.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Apprentice; Anne Robinson’s Britain; Marie Antoinette’s Watch
“The Apprentice remains the most grimly watchable schadenfreude in the land. Long may it stand firm.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: A World Without Down’s Syndrome?; Undercover: Britain’s Abortion Extremists
“Sally Phillips was a compelling, invested presenter whose lightness of touch, honesty and palpable love for her son were the engine of this absorbing film.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Westworld; The Forgotten Children; The Yorkshire Vet
“The special effects are as expensive-looking as you might imagine, but it’s still the story that keeps you hooked.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: My Kitchen Rules; Capability Brown’s Unfinished Garden; Raw Recruits; Go 8 Bit
“It’s too obviously fusion, there’s not enough flavour in the personalities of the judges, it’s too bland, too polite, too slow.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Louis Theroux; The Level; Poldark
“There is no need for Louis to be stripped of the BBC Grierson Trustees’ Award he received last week. Rather, this rigorous mea culpa of a documentary shows why he was worthy of it.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Fall; John Bishop; Paranoid
“This was a compelling opening episode, revisiting all the major characters in brief but menacing snatches and cleverly generating tension all around.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: World of Weird; Conviction; Bake Off; Our Girl
“World of Weird was like tumbling down a rabbit hole and ending up in the early Nineties.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Damned; Ambulance; National Treasure
“I could have done with more of the social work, less of the office japes and politics.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Agency; The Retreat; Cold Feet
“She’s an outstanding impressionist and the Agency is her best show yet.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Transparent; Walking Through Time; Fleabag; Strictly; When Magic Goes Horribly Wrong
“Forget Clarkson and co, this is the reason Amazon needs to be taken seriously as more than just people who send you stuff in oversized packaging.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Hunted; Paranoid; Brexit: A Very British Coup?
“Full of gallows humour, warm camaraderie and white-knuckle tension, Hunted is well worth tracking down.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Conviction; Get Shirty; Unspun
“It made for edge-of-seat television, pulling us on with all the twists and turns of a story that might yet turn out to be stranger than fiction.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: National Treasure; Fertility And Me; Bricks
“From the first moment of the first scene, I was utterly absorbed.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Who’s Afraid of Conceptual Art?; Cold Feet; The Bob Parks Story
“By the end of an interesting and enlightening film, the kind of academic veneration so much conceptual art seeks to thumb its nose at was so firmly back in place.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Celebrity Island; Scotland and the Battle for Britain; The White Helmets; Hooten and the Lady
“It was the same old manipulative and over-familiar formula. My endurance levels were exhausted before the first ad break.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs; Absolutely Fashion; Inside Scotland Yard
“A blend of science documentary and social experiment which was both eye-opening and surprisingly entertaining.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Natural World; Steptoe and Son; Bake Off; Ross Kemp
“The best wildlife footage you’re likely to see this week, or any other for a long while.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: 9/11: Truth, Lies and Conspiracies; One of Us; The Hairy Bikers’ Chicken & Egg
“This was a dull, pointless programme which revealed nothing we could care about.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: British Sitcom; Cold Feet; Panorama
“The programme distinguished itself by not taking a simplistic view of the past.”
