The Revolution Will Be Televised, BBC3
“I was squirming, and tied up in knots inside, with tears – of fear and laughter – running down my face.”
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian
“Like most sketch shows, it was patchy: casting Occupy protestors as hippies was a bit tired, but asking bankers to donate to a charity called GUBOFMYC (Give Us Back Our F***ing Money You C***s) did raise a puerile titter.”
Ed Potton, The Times
Secret Interview, Channel 5
“It was quite a confection and it didn’t always go down smoothly.”
Rebecca Armstrong, The Independent
“A simple yet brilliant premise. A sort of cross between The Apprentice and Candid Camera.”
Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express
Jet! When Britain Ruled the Skies, BBC4
“A thrilling documentary about Britain’s post-war supremacy in military aviation.”
Rebecca Armstrong, The Independent

“Gripping if gruelling telly. As Wallace might say: genealogy doesn’t get tougher than this.”
Ed Potton, The Times
The Hotel Inspector, Channel 5
“Endlessly entertaining but wonderfully nuts.”
Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express
