“Intelligent, not mawkishly sentimental and no pointless background music: this is how factual television should be.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: HMP Norwich; Horizon; Never Seen A Doctor
“Her Majesty’s Prison: Norwich was a deliberate heartstring-tugger. But interesting stories lurked behind the off-the-peg style.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: In The Club; Conspiracy Files; Penny Dreadful
“This series has charm by the bucketload, but more inner conflict is needed.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Posh Neighbours at War; Veep; Marcella; Paul Merton’s Secret Stations
“Amusing to watch, but it’s also quite frightening how something relatively petty can get so out of hand.”
-

“Extraordinary, intense, butt-clenchingly gripping television.”
-

“Caravanner of the Year isn’t just a weird idea for a TV programme; it’s a weird idea for a thing.”
-

“The more precious the site, the more wondrous the natural wonder, the more the presenter and his voice get in the way.”

“This felt more situation than comedy, never quite escalating into knockabout.”
-

“An absorbing and challenging Horizon, an oddly heavyweight option for Sunday evening.”
-

“The Secret Files is a fascinating idea and last night’s selection shimmered with gems.”
-
