“It was about as natural as a family-sized tin of luncheon meat [... ] If they meant it to be this laughable they are to be credited with a stunning success.”
Quentin Letts, Daily Mail
The Day of the Kamikaze, C4
“This documentary threw up a lot of intriguing questions, but sadly neglected to engage with them. There was a great deal of footage and interviews, but none of it going as deep as we wanted it to.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
The Day of the Kamikaze, C4
“... sensitively handled documentary [... ] revealed a more human side of their story.”
Andrew Pettie, Daily Telegraph
The Day of the Kamikaze, C4
“this solemn documentary got no nearer to telling us why 2,525 Japanese pilots were willing to kill themselves in suicide attacks on Allied ships in the Second World War, than citing family honour, peer pressure, and the glory of Japan.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
The Day of the Kamikaze, C4
“Unnecessary reconstructions aside, The Day of the Kamikaze was a fascinating film about the world's first suicide bombers.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
The Day of the Kamikaze, C4
“Meticulously researched, it bravely paid as much attention to the Japanese side of the story as the Allied side.”
Brian Viner, The Independent
Life in Cold Blood, BBC1
“There's not much lacking in Attenborough's swansong. It's been fascinating, brilliant, absolutely stunning, as you'd expect.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Life in Cold Blood, BBC1
“... you couldn't do much more than watch and say ‘wow'.”

Being Human, BBC3
“... there was enough real-life here to suggest that Being Human deserves a full series.”
Benji Wilson, Daily Telegraph
Being Human, BBC3
“Being Human could not have existed without Interview with a Vampire, Buffy, Angel and, for that matter, American Werewolf in London. It is portentous, trivial, jokey and solemn all at the same time. But the team has made something new and English of it.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
