REVIEWS |
LITTLE COUPLE (DISCOVERY)
“ It’s a great catch up story I cannot believe how much action has been squeezed into the 44 minutes without sacrificing the pacing it doesn’t feel rushed or confusing. As a viewer I would absolutely want to watch the series and catch up with the adorable family” Discovery Commissioner
WHAT NOT TO WEAR/Identical Twins (BBC 1)
“It came across as genuinely risky TV and as a result is a fascinating insight into the lives of the twins. Gold standard stuff”.
David Libbert in Broadcast
“the emotional tangles run very deep indeed in this opening show in which 2 sets of identical twins are selected…..” Times
MEDICAL MAVERICKS/Discovering Vaccines (BBC 2)
“It’s mind-blowing stuff…” Radio Times “yet another cracking episode about the reckless self experimenters….” Daily Telegraph
ROBO SAPIENS (TLC/Discovery)
“beautifully directed and lit, so congrats” (TLC/Discovery exec prod)
VIVALDI UNMASKED (BBC 1)
“Bliss to the senses” (The Scotsman), “Entertaining and animated account…. as far removed from a stuffy classical music programme as you could hope for” (The Evening Standard) “the information came thick and fast” (The Telegraph) “this glorious film” (The Times) “this ravishing film” (The Sunday Times) “At last we got a documentary about music which was packed with fascinating information, which didn’t talk down to viewers, and was – miraculously – an arts programme on BBC 1……..bows flying over string which were almost pornographic”
(The Spectator)
HOW TO BUILD A HUMAN/Creation (BBC 2)
“Brilliant, informative, endlessly fascinating, a fine instance of good-good television. As I never tire of saying, only this medium can bring you this material.

THE LYING GAME/Telling Lies (TLC/Discovery)
“I think we have a really terrific programme here. Entertaining, funny, nice takeaway factoids, and I thought the shooting and the interviews were terrific. Congratulations” Michael Klein TLC exec prod
TRAVELS WITH MY TUTU (BBC 2)
“the only programmes worth watching over the Xmas period” The Times and The Financial Times
THE SOUTH BANK SHOW/George Shearing (ITV)
“unmissable” Mail on Sunday (plus 5 star rating).
STRINGS, BOWS & BELLOWS (BBC2)
“The most important music performance programmes I’ve seen for a very very long time”(Tony Palmer – maker of award winning music feature films and documentaries – on “MUSIC MATTERS”: RADIO 3).
