TV Critics: ADHD and Me; Taskmaster; Paul O'Grady

“Maybe Rory’s ADHD should now form the basis of his act. Well, that’s what this programme is, and it’s dead interesting, and brave. There’s science and baking, and he can still do jokes and impressions.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“While this documentary covered all the bases, Bremner seemed to be there partly to distract us from finding it a bit of a plod.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“Beyond the brain scans at the start this was a Horizon struggling to focus. But, like Rory himself, all the more entertaining for it.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

“The games are infantile — knocking down rubber ducks, squishing fruit and other inanities. It’s The Generation Game for overgrown toddlers. But it’s such good-hearted (and frequently foul-mouthed) fun that Taskmaster becomes addictive.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“Noel Fielding was funny enough, but I still cannot see how his Scissorhands look is a fit for Bake Off.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“Somewhere among the 1,001 stations zapped into our tellies via cable, satellite and airwaves, there should be a channel devoted entirely to elephants. O’Grady met monkeys, leopards and even orphaned rhinos, but the rescued elephants at a sanctuary near the Taj Mahal stole the show.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“The true mark of an animal lover is surely someone who wants to bottle feed a baby rhino in the dark.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
