Sunshine, BBC1
“I've gone from chuckling gently - maybe a bit too gently - to weeping. Not proper wailing, just sniffing a bit. And that I think is the problem, we've gone from snug comedy to gritty northern drama. Kind of - because it's neither one thing nor t'other, as they say up there.”

Andrew Billen, The Times

Twiggy's Frock Exchange, BBC2
“The idea here is that 100 women try on one another's dresses. Really. That is it. And over an hour. They'll be filming Tupperware parties next. I know the addition of a Y chromosome would help me, but this looks as if it is the silliest, girliest television programme ever.
Andrew Billen, The Times

Jack: a Soldier's Story, BBC3
“A sad, troubling film.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman
