“If you like your comedy scary, lairy and perfectly portioned, it is a total knockout”
Such Brave Girls, BBC3
“To describe this show as bleak would be like suggesting that ducks are a bit partial to water. Still, it’s quite an achievement that something so defiantly and deliberately joyless can be so horribly funny.”
Ben Dowell, The Times
“It’s well done, but I just can’t make myself love it. I think it’s because, while Gen Z viewers might hard relate to the two main characters, they just seem to me to be quite slappable.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph
“Such Brave Girls won’t be to everyone’s tastes. But if you like your comedy scary, lairy and perfectly portioned, it is a total knockout.”
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian
“The power of Doctors Under Attack comes in the unhurried way it chooses to unfurl its thesis. There is no clear manipulation, no central villain. What there is, however, is an unceasing timeline of horrors.”
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian
“Undeniably, the film is harrowing and shocking. It contains unbearably distressing scenes of children’s suffering: a boy sobbing over the body of his father, a little girl on an operating table after the skin had been flayed from her torso. Gaza is hell on earth, and the documentary showed us this in graphic terms. You can see these images on television news reports, but they are brief. An hour of them is hard to endure.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph
Supercruising: Life At Sea, C4
“This show, narrated by Nick Brimble, is not much more than an hour-long ad for holidays on the high seas, but that does make a welcome change from the nightly bodycam footage of police battering down drug dealers’ doors and paramedics treating teenagers for stab wounds.”
Christopher Stevens, The Daily Mail
“These sorts of programmes live or die by their colourful characters, but interesting personalities are not in evidence here.”
Gerard Gilbert, The i
