“The Radio Doctor reincarnated.” Read on for the verdict on last night’s TV.

Embarrassing Old Bodies

Embarrassing Old Bodies, Channel 4

“A show that, for all its voyeurism, is really the Radio Doctor reincarnated.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

Garrow’s Law: Tales from the Old Bailey, BBC1

“Apparently, before writing Garrow’s Law, Tony Marchant was required to undergo online BBC training that included a warning against dividing characters into simple ‘goodies and baddies’. I wish he’d paid more attention because, although his 18th-century legal drama is full of good intentions and good things, it’s undermined by the fact that you could never be in the slightest doubt as to which was which.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

“Engaging Georgian legal drama.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

Osbourne Family Adrenaline Junkie, ITV1

“While this sort of mindless tooling around might have been perfect entertainment for kids in a Sunday teatime slot, they’ve had to put it on at 10pm, because none of the Osbournes can speak without swearing.”
Tim Dowling, The Guardian

“A spectacularly pointless spin-off of Jack’s I’ll-get-the-thrills-while-you-get-to-watch series.”
Tom Sutcliffe, ITV1
