“It was utter bilge.” Read on for the full verdict on last night’s TV.

The Naked Office

The Naked Office, Virgin 1
“It was utter bilge.”
Andrea Mullaney, The Scotsman

The Naked Office, Virgin 1
“It’s certainly more entertaining to watch than Gerry the Pious [C4’s Gerry’s Big Decision].”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

My Best Friend’s Murder, BBC3
“It was, sadly, not a million miles away from the fictional world of BBC2’s The Wire, even though this was London and not Baltimore.”
Andrea Mullaney, The Scotsman

My Best Friend’s Murder, BBC3
“It was an insightful, if a somewhat static, profile – and more than a little depressing.”
Alice-Azania Jarvis, The Independent

Gerry’s Big Decision, C4
“It’s sort of like The Apprentice, but with far greater consequences – or Dragons’ Den, with added despair.”
Alice-Azania Jarvis, The Independent

Celebrity MasterChef, BBC1
“Celebrity MasterChef is by far the most stressful thing on television. The cooking aspect - and the cooking is relentless, the poor contestants cook, cook, cook until their faces are purple with convection heat - is only the half of it.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

Psychoville, BBC2
“Last night’s stunning episode balanced dark drama with dark comedy, leavened with a perfectly pitched, yet subversive, homage to Hitchcock’s Rope shot in two long takes.”
Tim Teeman, The Times
