'This is not the stuff of Baftas, or even decent ratings.' Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.
"...a film that though fascinating, well-made and insightful, left its subject hardly less of an enigma than he was at the outset."
Gerard O'Donovan, The Daily Telegraph
The Human Spider (C4)
"This isn't actually a brilliant film - there's too much bigging him up - he's so brave, it's so dangerous, he's such a rebel, blah blah blah."
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
"Unfortunately, what Alain does is both breathtaking and extremely dull to watch, and so the filming was oddly similar to ID Fraud: too much music, lots of editing to give impression of rapid movements."
Robert Hanks, The Independent
Identity Fraud: Outnumbered (BBC1)
"This is not the stuff of Baftas, or even decent ratings."
Robert Hanks, The Independent
Identity Fraud: Outnumbered (BBC1)
"Awful as all this was, there couldn't have been anyone unaware of it already."
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
Identity Fraud: Outnumbered (BBC1)
"...the bog standard advice on offer...was feeble to the point of pathetic."
Gerard O'Donovan, The Daily Telegraph
The Apprentice: The Worst Decisions Ever (BBC2)
"...a programme that was, appropriately, one of The Apprentice's worst decisions ever."
Helen Rumbelow, The Times
The Bill (ITV1)
"...classic Bill - some villains banged up, a neat little twist and everything wrapped up in an hour."
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
