“Peep Show with a bus pass.” Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

The Old Guys, BBC1
 “The Old Guys is like the best of Galton and Simpson and David Renwick combined.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman

The Old Guys, BBC1
“Peep Show with a bus pass.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent

Sissinghurst, BBC4
“It's surprisingly fun to watch.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Dirty Sexy Money, E4
“Dirty Sexy Money is pretty silly, but no one can accuse it of lacking drama.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

Rocket Science, BBC2
“It is hard to say whom Friday night's opening episode patronised most: the cocky Scouse pupils of Woodchurch High School, their sidelined teachers, or “science” itself.”
Andrew Billen, The Times

Al Murray's Multiple Personality Disorder, ITV1
 “There was once a time, not so long ago, when Murray used his Pub Landlord character to mount a pointed satirical assault on English bigots, while managing to be very, very funny at the same time. But now that the character is long past its sell-by date, Murray - in the guise of his new, awful personae - is just a one-schtick pony searching in vain for further inspiration.”
Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman
