TV Critics: Eat, Shop, Save; Top Of The Lake; Prejudice and Pride

“This straightforward advice programme is aimed at ordinary families, whose idea of a foodie treat is a Chinese takeaway on a Friday night. Gregg Wallace has been doing much the same thing on BBC1’s Eat Well For Less. But like a boil-in-the-bag jumbo meal of bangers and mash, Gregg’s hour-long show is full of starch and stodge. Eat, Shop, Save is a far snappier half-hour format, stripped of all those time-wasting sequences filmed by hidden cameras in shopping trolleys.”
Christopher Williams, Daily Mail

“The episode was full of great comic moments, blissful acting and real insights into men.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

“The documentary’s embedding of personal stories within the larger history and the evocation of different times and places was masterly throughout.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
