George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations; 999: Critical Condition; The Baby; Girl in the Picture

”Now, if this were Grand Designs, Paul would be an egomaniac and Imogen would be fantasising about divorce and wondering why she hadn’t married her last boyfriend instead. But Remarkable Renovations doesn’t seem to attract couples on the edge…As this programme doesn’t tend to deal in catastrophe, the renovations are not thrilling to watch, meaning Clarke has to divert attention by showing us other people’s houses or explaining how things are made. The bit we’re really waiting for is the big reveal. And the result was fabulous”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph

“You applaud the lunatics taking on the ambitious projects we meet in this series. First, because any of these buildings could become flats or a Tesco Express rather than a charming home complementing the local character. Second, because where would some of our terrestrial channels be without property shows?” 
James Jackson, The Times

“Architect George Clarke strikes me as the sort of chap who would give his back teeth to fly a Spitfire. He had to make do, as Remarkable Renovations returned, with a turn at the controls of a mechanical digger, picking up sandstone slabs in an opencast quarry…The husband and wife made a fine comedy double act on their own.?” 
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“The impressive and intense medical emergency fly-on-the-wall show that’s so stressful it makes a terminal at Gatwick look like a serene spa break. Amid the soundtrack’s quiet throb of dread the terrible emergencies kept on coming. The medics are magnificent and, yes, this is real drama at its most visceral, but you have to ask: why do viewers so enjoy watching the gory distress of others?” 
James Jackson, The Times

“Mid-series, there are perhaps too many moving parts among which the compelling angle on female friendship gets slightly lost. But in marrying low-key and very funny dialogue with heightened supernatural elements, the best of The Baby comes when it entertains the myriad ways in which different people respond to children and to the prospect of having children.”

“Girl in the Picture is a fine and valuable addition to a genre that collectively if unwittingly poses the question: what might have been done with all the lives, with all the joy and energy stolen by these men, who think they have a right to take whatever they want, use it and destroy it? What might we all do in a world free of them, lived out of the shadows they cast? And how do we get there?”
