CriticsThe Apprentice
“It feels like a hangover from the last decade, like MasterChef or The X Factor – still strangely watchable, but not much talked about any more”

CriticsThe Bank That Almost Broke Britain
“As entertaining as Wall Street 2, but a whole lot more serious and unsettling.”

CriticsMonkman & Seagull’s Genius Guide to Britain
“Amid the dumbed-down TV dystopia of Love Island and The X Factor, it was refreshing to see clever people on screen, being enthusiastic.”

CriticsKilling Eve
“As revitalising as a grapefruit sorbet and as box-fresh as a new pair of knickers.”
-
CriticsThe Mighty Redcar
“Proper heartwarming, heartrending film-making that, for a few nostalgic hours, made me love the BBC again.”

-
CriticsPrincess Margaret: The Rebel Royal
“Hannah Berryman’s documentary, though excellent in many ways, struggled to give us an entirely clear picture of who Princess Margaret really was.”
