“Casualty with cocktails.”

“Harley Street may be dreadful in a more grindingly predictable (rather than utterly bonkers) way - which should tell against it. On the other hand, it does seem to understand at some level that it's a cheerfully trashy piece of television, and not a serious meditation on major historical themes.
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph

Harley Street, ITV1
“The result is a drama that feels oddly confused [... ] This one is set to run and run. Me too, in the opposite direction.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Harley Street, ITV1
“This is not excellent drama, though. It certainly doesn't convince: its attempts at real issues are laughable. There's no one you really care about, no one whose pain you share. But then nor is it Footballers' Wives - knowingly ridiculous and funny. It's froth without the fun, lacking humour and soul; but then it sold its own soul by going private. I'll check in for one more appointment, and if there's no improvement after that, I'm going back to Casualty, Holby and the NHS.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Harley Street, ITV1
“Harley Street is far too low on fun.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

Redgrave's Raw Recruits, ITV4
“The kids are great and there are lots of moving and inspirational moments.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
