Mad Men, BBC4
“Mad Men combines the glamour of its decade with queasy intimations of the nervous breakdown that would befall it. It is Schadenfreude in a snazzy suit.”
Andrew Billen, The Times
Mad Men, BBC4
“... the shock exposure of the ghastly culture of the near-past makles the series a kind of Madison Avenue version of Life on Mars.”
Simon Edge, Daily Express
Mad Men, BBC4
“I know it's early days - this is only the first episode, of the first series - but Mad Men appears to be proper television, for grown-ups, with brains.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Mad Men, BBC4
“The result was perhaps the most promising first episode of the television year so far - and a deserved coup for BBC4, which is in such fine form at the moment. All in all, the only bad news is that the repeats on BBC2 are tucked away so late on Tuesday nights.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
Love Soup, BBC1
“I enjoyed it, as I always do.”

“If it had got any slower it would have gone backwards.”

“I didn't like this show last time round. I still don't like anything about it.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
Love Soup, BBC1
“The show has become largely a one-hander - and, with 30-minute episodes this time, more of a conventional sitcom.”
James Walton, The Daily Telegraph
Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory, C4
“It's basically that show Jimmy's Farm, with palm trees.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
