“Not exactly mouth-watering.” Read on for the full verdict on last night’s TV.

Celebrity MasterChef

Celebrity MasterChef, BBC1
“Not exactly mouth-watering.”
Jim Shelley, Daily Mirror

Terror! Robespierre and the French Revolution, BBC2
“In terms of television, a bunch of blokes in wigs arguing about philosophy doesn’t quite hit the spot.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Terror! Robespierre and the French Revolution, BBC2
“There were actors too – not always a happy addition to a history programme that already has a cast of passionate and well-informed contributors, but pretty successful here.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

Katie Price Exclusive: with Piers Morgan
“He is a very good interviewer. Imagine what he would get out of someone who knew what genuine meant.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

Liz Smith’s Summer Cruise, BBC4
“A lovely film about age and loneliness and an old lady at sea. It’s both sad and funny. And wise. And much much more entertaining that any of those other celebrity travelogues, by Billy Connolly, Stephen Fry, Martin Clunes etc.”Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Torchwood, BBC2
“Torchwood is the modern-day Blake’s Seven: ludicrous plot, hammy acting and an adolescent penchant for ‘issues’.”
Jim Shelley, Daily Mirror
