“It was a passably interesting look at an American success story but based on the illusion that there was an enigma beneath it all.”
Matt Baylis, The Express
“Maitlis’s film made it apparent that his self-belief easily outweighs the niggling contradictions of the world at large.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
“I want Emily Maitlis, presenting Donald Trump: All-American Billionaire to ask if she can run her fingers through it (his hair).”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Any Human Heart, Channel 4,
(Carnival Film and Television)
“After wondering whether this show’s main character was actually too rotten to bother with, we’re now hooked. At least we will be, provided we don’t get another dozen scenes of the aged Jim Broadbent standing by a bonfire”
Matt Baylis, The Express
Peep Show, Channel 4
(Objective Productions)
“After a period when it got a bit obsessed with blow jobs and drugs, it was alive and kicking and doing well on Friday night.”
