Trial and Retribution, ITV1
“This was tosh, and lazy, derivative tosh; but, and this is crucial, slick, expensive-looking and straight-faced lazy, derivative tosh. I have a horrible feeling I'll be tuning in again next week.”

Trial and Retribution, ITV1

“The audience was left as unchallenged and happy as after a Boxing Day matinee.”

“The clips are wonderful, of course. It's what comes between that I'm not so sure about: the chat with Stuart Maconie, Pete Shelley, David Quantick and Gaz Coombes [... ]. It's like being in the pub with four really boring blokes.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
