The Hour, BBC2
“The hour has come for a drama such as this: stylish and confident with strong values underneath.”
Matt Baylis, The Daily Express
“The shabbiness of the surroundings…and the sturdily uningratiating nature of the characters are deeply reassuring. As is the casting.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
“It doesn’t really feel like it’s got going yet, the various threads haven’t been spliced together….But there’s enough intrigue there to whet the appetite for more.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
“The Hour looks wonderful and it is far from unwatchable, but there is a painful sense that Morgan does not really know what she is on about.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
Richard Hammond’s Journey to the Centre of the Planet, BBC1
“A programme that answers all the questions you knew the answers to already and doesn’t answer any of the ones you wanted answering.”
Matt Baylis, The Daily Express
Britain Through a Lens: the Documentary Film Mob, BBC4
“Chris Durlacher’s film was an unexpectedly penny-plain history.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
