Back To The Land With Kate Humble

“Back To The Land is stuffed with unlikely and inventive ways to cultivate a living. That makes for an interesting and entertaining hour, as reminiscent of the entrepreneurial Dragon’s Den as it is Countryfile.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“It’s not often that a middling midweek business show — this is Countryfile with hints of Dragons’ Den — has an opening montage so inspiring that you feel obliged to leap up and punch the air. All of the entrepreneurs that Humble met were models of can-do positivity and motivation — and what a refreshing change that is.”

Back to School with Mum and Dad, BBC1

“It feels as if there have been a lot of education documentaries lately — most with emotional journeys and that touchy-feely music trying to tug the heart strings. This one dialled down all that stuff for a serious fly-on-the-wall look at pupils at the Family School. While the show ended on an up, it was an encouraging note of optimism rather than some over-emotive climax.”

The Secret Life Of 5 Year Olds, C4

“The Secret Life Of 5 Year Olds has hit upon the perfect format and is not going to monkey with it. If you’ve never seen one of these shows, they are all the same. It’s not really educational, just an excuse to enjoy the children’s antics and heart-melting chatter.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail
