CriticsTV Critics: Life in Squares; BBC: The Secret Files; 24 Hours in Police Custody
“There’s plenty for all in this shapely exhumation.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Partners in Crime; Dancing Through The Blitz; Experimental
“These were two superb performances that took a flimsy tale of cloak-and- dagger espionage and transformed it into exciting drama.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Britain Sees Red: Caught on Camera; The Ugly Face of Disability Hate Crime; Dogs On the Dole
“Grainy footage of rush hour traffic bumping over pavements to get past rubbish carts makes very dull viewing.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Witnesses; One Born Every Minute; Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
“What gives Witnesses its own identity is that its particularly morbid plot makes it arguably even creepier than anything else to come out of Scandinavia.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Me and My New Brain; Child Genius; Not Safe for Work
“It was the unexpected sidelights on life that made this documentary stand out.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Britain at the Bookies; Cake Bakers and Trouble Makers; Lookalikes
“It was hard not to ponder whether the subjects had some say in a largely favourable portrayal.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: London’s Lost Graveyard; Wigton to Westminster; The Outcast; Javone Prince; Dragons’ Den
“The old Bethlehem burying ground unearthed near Liverpool Street station is fascinating in itself and doesn’t need the bang-crash-crikey treatment given here.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Ireland’s Wild River; Married at First Sight; The Holiday Airport
“As warm and satisfying as a giant bowl of mashed potato.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Dispatches: Escape from Isis; Veep; People Just Do Nothing; Britain's Forgotten Slave Owners; Girls with Autism
“It’s a gut-punching snapshot of a complicated world that leaves you reeling.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Great Ormond Street; Hive Minds; The House That £100K Built; Imagine
“Last night’s programme was a brilliant opener to what looks like being another remarkable series.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Cracking China; Hair; Inside the Ku Klux Klan; Rookies
“It was a show so arrogantly, blindly self-promoting, it felt like the TV version of that article Samantha Brick wrote about her own beauty.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Outcast; Marvel’s Agent Carter; Joanna Lumley’s Trans-Siberian Adventure
“This adaptation of Sadie Jones’s bestselling novel was the tiniest bit lacking. There were times when it felt like a French & Saunders satire.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Married At First Sight; Coast; Grand Designs; Playhouse Presents: King for a Term
“It’s certainly entertaining television – Don’t Tell the Bride meets Take Me Out with the ante upped. And then upped again, seriously upped.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: The Autistic Gardener; Children Of The Gaza War; From Russia With Cash
“Thanks to Alan’s charisma and good humour, the programme was fun, entertaining and never patronising”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Virgin Atlantic: Up In The Air; Benefits By The Sea; Imagine: Beware Of Mr Baker; unReal
“Offers, as far as I can tell, nothing fresh to the body of knowledge. I’ve been more entertained waiting at a baggage carousel.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: How To Get A Council House; A Deadly Warning: Srebrenica Revisited; Idris Elba: No Limits
“No one could call this an enjoyable documentary, but it caught the spirit of the times.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: A Song For Jenny; Fake Or Fortune; Black Work
“An extraordinary performance by Emily Watson, portraying not only Julie Nicholson but also grief itself.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Britain Beneath Your Feet; Career Criminals; Superhospital
“With a little more scientific and historical rigour it could have worked, but this slapdash approach underestimated the intelligence and attention span of its audience.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Don't Tell The Bride; Kids in Crisis?; Insane Fight Club II; SunTrap
“It is genuinely touching, as well as being funny, as men cocking up never fails to be.”
-
CriticsTV Critics: Not Safe For Work; Child Genius; Dan Cruickshank's Civilisation Under Attack
“It was slickly produced, strongly performed and smartly scripted, yet lacked jeopardy or warmth and failed to fully take flight.”
