OTHER CREDITS INCLUDE…
POP IDOL - ITV - TALKBACK THAMES
“THE great thing about Pop Idol is that it is pure human drama… This show has the lot. Laughter and tears. Hope and despair. Camaraderie and ambition. Joy and anguish. Ant and Dec… You would need a heart of stone not to be gripped by Pop Idol, and it feels like the show is permeating facets of our life that other TV shows can't even dream about. A writer would hesitate to invent a fictional character like Gareth Gates - the beautiful boy who can sing, but not talk…. The Pop Idol contestants have put their young hides on the line on live television, and then sung their hearts out… Pop Idol is not good television. Pop Idol is just about perfect television.” Tony Parsons, THE MIRROR.
"Pop Idol is perfect television. It is a worthy winner in a competitive field." Peter Bennett-Jones, chairman of the Grand Jury of the Golden Rose 2002.
THE 11 O’CLOCK SHOW - CHANNEL 4 - TALKBACK
“The 11 O'Clock show did introduce other stars, including Iain Lee and Mackenzie Crook, introduced us to Ricky Gervais and plucked Daisy Donovan from her job as a receptionist. Former writers and producers have also gone on to greater things.” THE GUARDIAN.
“The 11 O'Clock Show scored big…. [Peter] Fincham recently recalled that he had never seen anything like the Ali G phenomenon, before or since.” THE GUARDIAN.
