'This programme stirred up all sorts of difficult questions.' Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

Afghantsi, More 4
“... extraordinary film.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

What Happened Next? Kingswood, BBC4
“This programme stirred up all sorts of difficult questions. By refusing to engage with them, it ended up being a disappointment.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Springwatch Gardens, BBC2
“This isn't a regular Springwatch, it's a special spin-off. Springwatch is turning into a multi-faceted franchise, like CSI. There'll be shops soon, and merchandise. And they'll try to break into the Chinese market.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Imagine..., BBC1
"...nobody managed to tell us what the big deal was about an orchestra. They tried, but it all ended up as guff about ‘interconnectedness' and ‘fear of silence'.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent
Summer Heights High, BBC3

Summer Heights High, BBC3
“Summer Heights High is not inoffensive, and I'm still waiting for a comedian to explain to me when or why laughing at ‘special' kids in ‘special' schools became such easy, light hearted fun. At its best, though, the cruelty is well targeted.”
Hugo Rifkind, The Times
