CriticsTV Critics: Marx: Genius of the Modern World; This World: The New Gypsy Kings
“This film was stymied by too restrictive a focus on giving a blow-by-blow account of a life, rather than on the intellectual achievement for which it is celebrated.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Koko; Exposure; Rescue Dog To Superdog
“A portrait of two highly intelligent beings – one human, one gorilla – caught forever between unbridgeable worlds. It was hard to know whom to feel most sorry for.”

CriticsTV Critics: Born on the Same Day; Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled; Revolution and Romance; Little Divas
“Although the three lives neither touched nor particularly illuminated one another, the programme sort of worked.”

“This was an extraordinary film. Perhaps the police will do something about its findings.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: New Blood; Make! Craft Britain; Safeword
“There were plenty of Horowitz touches to make this fun. At least it’s not trying to be a Scandi-noir knock-of.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Secrets of Growing Up; Versailles; Power Monkeys; Rescue Dog to Super Dog
“Viewers who want science turn to the BBC. Making slightly downmarket science is not going to attract them.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Horizon; Rich Brother Poor Brother; Thierry Henry; Lagos To London
“Dr Giles Yeo’s Horizon special was a healthy buffet of factlets served piping hot.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Reg; Handmade by Royal Appointment; Meet What You Eat

“This four-part series began well, but made the elementary mistake of trying to cram in too much.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Living with Dementia; Going Forward; The Truth About Healthy Eating
“This was immersive, important television, and inspiring too.”

CriticsTV Critics: Versailles; Secrets of Growing Old; Alan Shearer’s Euro ’96; Ben Building
“It is a trashy, extravagant romp that takes liberties with the actuality. It is also, undeniably, quite a lot of fun.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Myleene Klass: Single Mums on Benefits; Musical Masters of the 19th Century; Roots
“This was never going to be a probing look at the benefits system. Instead it was positive – if not stretching – telly.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Alan Partridge’s Scissored Isle; Heathrow: Britain’s Busiest Airport
“Here was the loveliest, most natural treatment of dialogue I’ve heard in a TV adaptation of Shakespeare.”

-
CriticsTV Critics: Going Forward; The Truth About Dementia; At Home With The British
“The characters are glorious. This is humour with a heart.”
