CriticsThe Seven Year Switch
”A marginally less tawdry version of C5’s gruesome Love Island knock-off, Make or Break. It’ll probably do well”
-
CriticsCollateral; Imagine; Marcella; Action Team
“This was a rather bleak, unsatisfying and empty conclusion to the saga”
-
CriticsChurchill’s Secret Affair
“It’s a bloody good story. Outrageous toffs, adultery, fascists – what more could you want?”

CriticsThe Assassination of Gianni Versace
“A lush, gossipy tour de force that dazzles and tantalises in equal measure”

CriticsStrike: Career of Evil; Top Gear
“Manages to be modern yet old-fashioned, discomfiting yet cosy, absurd yet plausible. If you ask me we’ve found our next great TV detective”

“The humour is in the way the characters love each other, even when they’re being most hurtful”

“Essentially a positive show and thus a pale imitation of the dream-crushing, soul-destroying, oft-humiliating reality”
-
-
-
CriticsTrauma; Collateral
“Mike Bartlett, with his theatre background, knows how to hit that sweet spot between the viewer on their sofa and the back row of the stalls”
-
-
CriticsJames Bulger: A Mother’s Story
“The account of James’s death has lost none of its power to disturb.”
-
CriticsMy Millionaire Migrant Boss
“This surprisingly touching programme was billed as a one-off but felt like a pilot for a potential full series.”
