“A wonderfully sweet-natured story.” Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

Sunshine, BBC1
“Sunshine was a wonderfully sweet-natured story.”
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian

Imagine... A Love Story, BBC1
“[An] uncharacteristically pleasing programme.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

Miss Naked Beauty, C4
“Miss Naked Beauty is on a mission to the benighted, a series expressly intended to take on commercially sponsored notions of orthodox beauty and ‘say no to beauty fascism'. That it does this with a kind of Nuremberg rally of empty self-affirmation, in which various young women spout the ‘we're-all-beautiful' party-line, may strike some viewers as a paradox.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

All Over the Shop, BBC2
“All Over the Shop, is basically Mary Queen of Shops without the frocks.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

Dawn Porter: the Polygamist's Wife, C4
“She asked all the right questions, but she couldn't get beyond her own, slightly naïve ideas of what a perfect relationship ought to be.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Jamie's Ministry of Food, C4
“I have to confess that I skipped straight from the first programme to last night's conclusion - and, boy, was the contrast painful.”
Damian Thompson, The Daily Telegraph
