TV Critics: Mods, Rockers and Bank Holiday Mayhem; What The Dambusters Did Next; Goodness Gracious Me

“It’s sadly usual for the Beeb to put a socialist spin on its history documentaries, but Timeshift did just this, ignoring all the evidence from the old hoodlums themselves — now pensioners, some more respectable than others.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“If there was a problem with this Timeshift it was that there are more diverting ways of entering this subcultural rabbit hole.”
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian

“Timeshift: Mods, Rockers and Bank Holiday Mayhem was an excellent, evocative documentary.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph

“Stirring stuff, but former RAF navigator John Nichol’s hagiography ignored what other wings of the RAF were doing at the same time – such as the bombings of German civilians in Dresden and Pforzheim.”
Stuart Jeffries, The Guardian

“Gripping stuff, marred only by interminable ad breaks — more than a third of this 100-minute documentary was adverts.”
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail

“New yet reassuringly familiar, this was an ideal way to round off a Bank Holiday weekend.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph
