Sex in the Noughties: Dear Deirdre, C4
“No wonder there’s been a boom in three-in-a-bed sex, dogging and swinging. People are reading Deirdre and thinking ‘everybody else seems to be at it - perhaps we should have a dabble too.’”
Thomas Sutcliffe, The Independent
Sex in the Noughties: Dear Deirdre, C4
“If this makes the programme sound like late night TV titillation shamelessly posing as social commentary, that wouldn’t be entirely unfair.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph
Spooks, BBC1
“When did Spooks get so preposterous? I don’t mean good preposterous either -”

Dawn French’s More Boys Who Do: Comedy, BBC4
“ -is proving a fine series.”
James Walton, Daily Telegraph
CSI: Miami, Five
“In the final shots of the episode [ -] a new character appears: a blonde pop star. She checks into rehab, takes some drugs and shaves off her hair. Unconnected, pointlessly pointed at poor Ms Spears. It was a Himalaya of the Bleeding Obvious, a pinnacle of unsubtlety, even for this show.”
Anna Pickard, The Guardian
Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, C4
“Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is pure theatre - a heady stew of Christians being thrown to the lions, women being sawn in half and preachers making cripples walk.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
Last night’s TV
“A generally dreary night’s television.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
