Christianity: a History, C4
“The series isn't quite what the title suggests. This isn't a part-work history, through-composed by someone with a seat in divinity. It's a collection of pointedly personal essays, loosely arranged around the evolving chronology of the Church.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
Christianity: a History, C4
“This was, on the whole, a fascinating argument and, even if you disagreed with it, or had heard it many times before, it was enjoyable for the sheer passion and precision with which the presenter put his case.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
Christianity: a History, C4
“A brilliant polemic, a riveting history and a font of fresh thinking all at once.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
Demons, ITV1
“I'm tempted to say it was diabolical, but that would be greatly to exaggerate its impact.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
Demons, ITV1
“The dialogue, the acting and even the slightly second-rate visual effects will ensure this show's success.”

Swarm: Nature's Incredible Invasions, BBC1
“There's a nice voiceover by the (soon to be ex-) Doctor, too. Perhaps wildlife narration is the natural next step after Doctor Who. Anyway, David Tennant is very good at it - fresh and without the portentousness so many actors bring to it.”

The Real Sir Alan, BBC2
“What disappointed me was Sir Alan himself. You'd think - with his millions, his colourful rags-to-riches life, his ups and downs, Tottenham, his performances on The Apprentice, the fact he looks a little bit like a lion - that he'd be television gold. Not a bit of it.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
