Cold Case Forensics: The Murder Of Rachel Nickell, ITV1

“An hour with Dr Angela Gallop is like a tutorial from a real-life Sherlock Holmes. True crime enthusiasts, grab a pen and make notes as you watch.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“The forensic detail was just riveting. How Gallop and her team managed to nail the monstrous Robert Napper for the murder more than a decade on via a new DNA technique, a footprint and a few flakes of red paint was mesmerising. “Every contact leaves a trace,” she said. Thank God we have scientists like her.”
Carol Midgley, The Times

Dear Edward, Apple TV+

“Dear Edward is dutifully diverse in racial terms but has been cast from the same pool of uniformly slim, symmetrical people as most US network television, with the effect of undermining its otherwise sincere efforts to depict the reality of life’s struggles. Any of these dreamboats could walk into a modelling contract at a moment’s notice.”
Ellen E Jones, The Guardian

Your Honor, Amazon

 “[Bryan] Cranston is an excellent screen presence, and in Michael Desiato he has found another vehicle for his ability to convey a range of tortured emotions while maintaining an, almost eerie, stillness. But the writing is sometimes laboured and humourless, a by-product of a world populated entirely by people consumed by grief.”
Nick Hilton, The Independent
