TV critics' verdict on programmes - including the return of Jimmy McGovern’s drama series, The Street - broadcast on 8 November 2007

The Street, BBC1
“ -the script was a model of controlled feeling and imagination, and the performances lived up to it magnificently.”
Robert Hanks, The Independent

The Street, BBC1
“It was work from a television master - with the help of a team of little-known writers - still at the peak of his powers.”
Serena Davies, Daily Telegraph

The Street, BBC1
“Powerful stuff.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

The Street, BBC1
“A taut, twanging little thriller or, perhaps, a ghost story or, maybe, a murder mystery.”
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian

The Street, BBC1
 “Although one is struck by its ingenuity and peerless writing, one is also puzzled.”
Tim Teeman, The Times

The Mummy Diaries, C4
 “A well-made piece of television, but unbearably painful to watch.”
Serena Davies, Daily Telegraph

Killer in Me, ITV1
 “..a bizarre programme - a sort of celebrity DNA challenge, combined with an extended advert.”
Matt Baylis, Daily Express
