-
CriticsDoctor Who; House Of The Dragon; Bloodlands
“This feature-length special, titled The Power of the Doctor, was perhaps the best episode of his patchy five-year stint as supremo”
-
CriticsGangs of London; The Peripheral; Aldi’s Next Big Thing
“The bloodiest drama ever screened. Some images of evisceration would turn the stomach of Vlad the Impaler”
-
CriticsCause of Death; The Elon Musk Show; Gangs of London; Chapelwaite
“A respectful and unsensational series, offering a window into a process that usually takes place behind closed doors”
-
CriticsAmol Rajan Interviews Greta Thunberg; Rob Burrow: Living with MND
“Rajan’s friendly but never patronising approach was effective”
-
CriticsThe House Across the Street; The Fire Within; Behind the Rage; Untold: Inside the Shein Machine
“The House Across the Street combined sharply observed characters with a genuinely compelling concept”
-
CriticsCritics: Somewhere Boy
“Somewhere Boy turned out not only to be beautifully pitched, but also tender, funny and oddly life-affirming”
-
CriticsI Hate You; Shantaram; TS Eliot: Into the Waste Land
“I don’t think these two characters are developed enough yet, but they do have huge potential”
-
CriticsThe Elon Musk Show; TraumaZone
“The film told Musk’s origin story with verve and insight, even if it fell at the final hurdle of unpicking the essence of its subject”
-
CriticsCandy; Trump: The Comeback?; Sensationalists
“The episodes are teeming with beautiful details but the people occupying these spaces feel undercooked”
-
CriticsMaxine; Katie Price: Trauma and Me
“Judged solely as a piece of drama, it works effectively”
-
CriticsWreck; Raising the Mary Rose; Karen Pirie
“This is exactly the kind of telly that BBC3 should be making”
-
CriticsUnbreakable; Jon Richardson: Take My Mother-in-Law; My Grandparent’s War
“A charmless child of I’m a Celebrity and Mr and Mrs that told us virtually nothing about human relationships”
-
CriticsRalph & Katie; The Bear; Head On
“The actors are fantastic, and you will not see a better routine than Ralph’s choreography to ‘Knock on Wood’ on television this year”
-
CriticsPaxman: Putting Up With Parkinson’s; Make Me Prime Minister; The Bear
“Fascinating, grown-up, unsparing television”
-
CriticsThe Walk-In; The Big Blow Out
“This gritty, disturbing drama manages to squeeze pathos out of one of the most troubling stories in recent British history”
-
CriticsStanley Tucci: Searching for Italy; Everyone Can Rap; 1978; Dal y Mellt
“Defined by Tucci’s natural charm and laid-back enjoyment of all he experiences, it makes for particularly soothing Sunday night viewing”
-
CriticsDNA Journey; Nine Perfect Strangers; Jungle
“Unexpectedly moving and ultimately rather inspirational”
-
CriticsThe Old Man; This England; I Hate You
“ The Old Man is solid and polished, with a rather muted, almost numbed atmosphere”
-
CriticsMake Me Prime Minster; Industry; Eat The Rich: The Gamestop Saga
“It actually manages to make the political process look like God’s work”
-
CriticsInside Man; Stuck; Industry
“Typical Moffat fare. Rollickingly confident, meaty, funny, clever”
