“Action Series combines the violence of ‘24’ with humor of “Lethal Weapon” New York Post
“When these guys take on terrorists, feel bad for the terrorist”. New York Post
“In between the terrorist threats, plenty of time for hankypanky” New York Times
“Fans of ‘24’… still ask me how to fill that void… Until ‘Strike back’, I didn’t have any answers.
Now I do.” The Washington Post

Three years in the making this BBC landmark series describes the human species and its relationship with the natural world by showing the remarkable ways humans have adapted to life in every environment on Earth.
Reviews
“Thursday’s life in the deep freeze was breathtaking, funny, touching and compelling.
We had sharks being dragged through ice holes to feed the huskies, a shed on a sled as a father and son took their shelter hunting with them, polar bears in town looking for human treats on Halloween, songs to greet the first sunrise in 54 days and a 20-year-old female reindeer farmer who could restrain a fully grown deer as easily as if she was holding a sleepy puppy.
The most amazing scenes of all however were the mussel pickers who went UNDER the Arctic sea ice to gather shellfish when the tide was out and had to get out of there pretty smartly when it started to come back in.
Unbeatable.
The kind of stuff that makes it easier to pay your licence fee and proud to live in a country where broadcasting can be so brilliant.”

Hughie Green | Most Sincerely
BBC Drama
 |
|
Hughie Green was the avuncular front man of the hugely successful family television show Opportunity Knocks. But behind the scenes he lived a very different life. Green was a serial womaniser who would go onto father the late Paula Yates .Starring Trevor Eve Hughie Green, Most Sincerely is based on the inside story from Green’s family, friends and peers. The drama tells of the destructive power of success and celebrity, and explores what family and fatherhood meant to this national treasure
Reviews
“Trevor Eve is outstanding in the titular role, brilliantly capturing the humanity and vulnerability as well as the more readily apparent loathsome qualities of the perma-drunk, womanising game show host, in this scathing but even-handed biopic, detailing his inevitable decline from fame and fortune, filtered through scenes of childhood trauma”.

Behind the Victorian walls of Britain’s largest high security prison There are 1200 prisoners, including murderers, rapists, drug dealers and terrorists This 3 part series gives an exclusive insight into life for prisoners and staff and makes for compelling and candid viewing. Strangeways Attracted 5.8m viewers, making it ITV’s highest rated documentary series for a decade, it shone light on a world most of us know little about and became a national talking point.
Reviews
“Superb, albeit extremely graphic film, lacking in pious judgement or sensationalism." The Guardian
“A series that’s unlikely to be forgotten by anyone who saw all episodes. An astonishing series was as bleak, grim and terrifying as you’d imagine. If Strangeways doesn’t win a BAFTA next year, we’re in trouble”. The Sun
“Fascinating series, hard hitting and at times palpably disturbing. Strangeways is the latest visceral warts and all account of life on the inside from ITV1, whose previous films on Holloway and Wormwood Scrubs were equally impressive”. Time Out

Reviews
"This thoughtful, well-made and heartfelt documentary series is to be applauded its success shows that there is an appetite among audiences for stories of regular people told simply with no sensationalism and no celebrity presenter – and on ITV1 primetime too." The Guardian
"A stylish new documentary series that reveals often surprising aspects of life on the inside. The opening film is composed with rare skill and makes for compelling viewing." The Sunday Times
"Exemplary access, cloyingly addictive viewing: everyone who has ever held forth in the House, or a saloon-bar, or an editorial column without knowing the faintest whereof they speak should be made to watch this: at, if necessary, knife-point." The Observer
"With Holloway, ITV1 has not only turned in its first documentary series since God knows when but also made it the kind of unexpected, well paced story-led piece that feels more engaged and passionate than most dramas." The Times
