“Jeremy Paxman's point here isn't that Victorian painting is particularly good, just that it is particularly representational, and so offers a wealth of information about a genuinely fascinating period of history. I think he slightly overeggs this argument.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

“Paxman's new series on The Victorians is excellent. With dramatic music and an intelligent script, this is a dynamic history, hung around the concept of contemporary paintings and what they reveal about this fascinating, revolutionary time.”
Andrea Mullaney, The Scotsman

“It's brilliant, of course - scholarly but not boring, witty, enlightening, intelligent.”

“This stood up fine as a straightforward look at the Victorian age, no further embellishments were necessary.”

“It's nonsense, but for the next 12 weeks I fear it is my nonsense.”

“Sometimes you'll feel cheated, often you'll feel confused, Lord help you if you miss an episode. But also you'll be dazzled - by how convincing Glenn Close is at being steely cold and morally bankrupt, by Ted Danson's teeth, by the sharpness of the script and slickness of the production.”

“Chris Niel's salty, rueful script, which very nicely exploits the best features of its cast, and also creates a genuinely comic monster in the shape of Stephen, the boss of the talent agency.”

“I hope BBC4 goes ahead and produces the rest of Annie Griffin's scripts.”
