“As a gentle corrective to the villainy of Jaws’ mechanical monster, and an alternative take on the nature doc, this is quite lovely”
Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters, ITV1
“Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITV1) is a reasonably entertaining watch, mostly because Amandaland actress Lucy Punch is in it, but the funniest thing about it is the way it pretends to be a programme about shark conservation.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph
“For viewers, it may have the faint ring of looking through someone else’s holiday videos and snaps when you don’t know them very well. But as a gentle corrective to the villainy of Jaws’ mechanical monster, and an alternative take on the nature documentary, this is quite lovely.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian
“This smacks of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here but in the water, not the jungle and with no Ant and Dec. And, hopefully, no horrible, performative eating of animals.”

“BBC science shows can sometimes become overloaded with information, but this was well-paced, giving us a chance to enjoy the stunning pictures while mulling over what we’d just learned.”
Christopher Stevens, The Daily Mail
“Al-Shamahi’s delight in this revelation is irresistibly infectious. In Human, the leap of imagination necessary to understand our very distant past is no distance at all.”

“Alas, some of the other characters aren’t convincing… Anyway, as a series it’s as daft as a brush but, on a surface level, it is entertaining.”
Carol Midgley, The Times
“Overall, it’s enjoyably trashy despite an unsophisticated script and some hammy acting. The whole thing feels unreal.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph
