“Ewan McGregor proved a worthy presenter of a remarkable 90-minuter in which his passion for RAF aircraft was obvious”
-
CriticsContagion!
“It gave us proper, grown-up science and didn’t pitch it at the IQ of a five-year-old”
-
CriticsThe Secret Helpers
“No offence to those who took part, but it was sentimental mediocrity dressed up as documentary”
-
CriticsThe World’s Ugliest Pets
“Didn’t offer that much to marvel at, unless it was the food bills at Caroline Quentin’s house”
-
CriticsThe Funeral Murders; Imagine…
“A masterful and careful handling of an ever-combustible narrative”

“Perky history with an explosive finale, but overlong at 90 minutes”
-
CriticsThe Seven Year Switch
”A marginally less tawdry version of C5’s gruesome Love Island knock-off, Make or Break. It’ll probably do well”
-
CriticsCollateral; Imagine; Marcella; Action Team
“This was a rather bleak, unsatisfying and empty conclusion to the saga”
-
CriticsChurchill’s Secret Affair
“It’s a bloody good story. Outrageous toffs, adultery, fascists – what more could you want?”
-
-
CriticsThe Assassination of Gianni Versace
“A lush, gossipy tour de force that dazzles and tantalises in equal measure”
-
CriticsAmazing Hotels; 100 Years Younger in 21 Days
