-

“This is fresh, important and detailed history about the brutal birth pangs of a multiracial society”

-
CriticsThe Real Serpent: Investigating a Serial Killer; The Hairy Bikers Go West; Palm Royale
“To the programme’s great credit it set about systematically dismantling any remaining pretence that this snake was just some kind of cuddly toy”

“It is painful to watch but very, very moreish, depicting a depressingly familiar nightmare that could happen to anyone”
-
