Cutting Edge: Bobski the Builder, C4
“Bobski the Builder had plenty of characters but not much real content.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Blackadder's Most Cunning Moments, GOLD
“What depressed me is that I hate this kind of show - clips and beeps, as they're known in the business, beep being the rudest word of all, and referring to the pundits who come and sit in front of an open fire or a painting to waffle on about the clips.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Danger Men, Five
“Danger in itself is not really enough to sustain an hour-long programme. You need some sense of character and place, and this programme didn't manage to get nearly enough of either.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Last Days of Steam, BBC4
“This programme provided an enjoyable journey through recent railway history, with plenty to marvel at along the way. But it never quite reached its destination.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Election, BBC1
“On paper, this looks admirably civic-minded, but it turns out that politics is very low down on the list of things the programme is interested in.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent
