“It still felt something between a pity and a slight swizz that an event [the hijacking of an Air France flight from Tel Aviv] initially put forward as an illustration of wider trends should end up squeezing out any proper discussion of the trends in question.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
Age of Terror, BBC2
“Completely gripping.”

Age of Terror, BBC2
“What comes out is a complete picture, the full story. It's one that has been told many times before, but never so thoroughly. Proper journalism.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“Peter Taylor's account of the operation was gripping [but] left you feeling that you knew more about the incident without learning a lot more about why it had occurred.”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent

“My inbuilt aversion to anything that happens away from my own planet makes me narrow-minded, I know. Racist, even. But I'm still not convinced. I'm not getting the smell. And by smell, what I really mean is humanity.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Waking the Dead, BBC1
“Apart from the story's implication that terrorists are noble, philosophy-spouting freedom fighters, this was a pretty watchable tale.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
Shameless, C4
“The time when Shameless was flavour of the month has, for some reason, long gone. Even so, the fourth series, which finished last night, confirmed it's still one of the best TV shows around.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
