CriticsInvitation to a Royal Wedding
“It all looked fantastic, and the various interviewees who had been allowed onto the guest lists gave good quote”
-
CriticsHarold Shipman: Doctor Death
“It was a gripping recap of what an arrogant shit Shipman was… But the programme didn’t much address the big unanswered question: why?”
-
CriticsBritain’s Fat Fight
“Hugh makes a subject that could be joyless and preachy a bit of a giggle – and highly watchable TV”

CriticsThe Woman in White
“A pacy, assured take on a novel to which every modern mystery writer is indebted”
-
CriticsTrue Horror
“It felt vague, as if there were not enough material to fill the hour so it used horror film techniques to make viewers jump”
-
CriticsThe Secret Life of the Zoo
“It does well with what is probably about 1 per cent of Planet Earth’s budget”
-
CriticsStephen: The Murder That Changed a Nation
“There have been many other films about Stephen’s murder, but none so exhaustive and meticulous”
-
CriticsThe Queen’s Green Planet
“Much has been written about ‘slow television’, but you would struggle to find anything more soporifically relaxing than this”

CriticsMy Year With the Tribe
“It turns into an ethical quagmire and I am not sure that My Year With the Tribe escapes from it simply by addressing that fact”

CriticsLiving With the Brainy Bunch
“Exploitative, heartless television, which offered a completely impractical solution to the problem of disaffected pupils”
-
CriticsBacchus Uncovered: Ancient God of Ecstasy
“Bettany achieved the unlikely feat of making Bacchus Uncovered relevant to young party-goers and archeologists alike”
-
CriticsThe Class of Mum and Dad
“Rather than learning about the dynamics of the playground, we’re just watching another reality show”
-

CriticsKilling Eve
“Slickly made and mightily entertaining, Killing Eve brings a new energy to the well-worn game of cat-and-mouse staged by many a murder mystery.”
