“Ronson adroitly deconstructed exactly how Alpha manages to turn a significant number of, admittedly, questioning agnostics into believers.” Read on for the full verdict on last night’s TV.

Revelations: How to Find God, C4
“He [Jon Ronson] didn’t go overboard with his point of view [on the Alpha course] but it was there, nonetheless, getting in the way of what should have been a witty, revealing film about the search for faith.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Revelations: How to Find God, C4
“Ronson adroitly deconstructed exactly how Alpha manages to turn a significant number of, admittedly, questioning agnostics into believers.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

Mendelssohn, the Nazis and Me, BBC4
“It was one of most fascinating programmes I’ve seen in some time.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

This World: The Madoff Hustle, BBC2
“I was hoping to have my curiosity similarly satisfied, but I was sorely disappointed. This documentary doled out its facts sparingly over the course of an hour, either because it didn’t have many facts to dole out, or because its makers thought the details of the world’s largest fraud were either too complicated or too boring. Instead we got narration by Robert Vaughn (the star of Hustle) and lots of jazzy caper music.”
Tim Dowling, The Guardian
