British Comedy Guide, 6th July 2020Guilt, BBC Two, review
An unexpected Scottish treat with a pitch-black tone.
Sarah Hughes, i Newspaper, 20th November 2019Guilt, episode 4, review
At long last, a drama that stays good to the last episode.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 20th November 2019Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives (trivia: they are old schoolfriends from a Leith primary) are Max and Jake, who run over an old, dying man as they drive back tiddly from a wedding. And, of course, try to cover it up. There are welcome Coen brothers echoes here, though it's written by Neil Forsyth (Eric, Ernie And Me, the much-missed Brian Cox vehicle Bob Servant), and it's also got something of Scott Smith's A Simple Plan about the plot, in the inexorability of tiny lies leading to outrageous, yet just credible, developments. It's very funny, and inlaid with a bittersweet dose of unwholesomeness, like sucking on a furry boiled sweet from too long under the sofa. Also: much decent music trivia - well, what's your standout Bowie album? And was there really a fine "early Rod Stewart... before one of the great artistic collapses of our time"?
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 3rd November 2019Guilt, series one, episode two review
Eight months and many thousands of programme hours in, the new BBC Scotland channel has an appointment-to-view hit on its hands with the comedy drama Guilt.
Alison Rowat, The Herald, 1st November 2019Guilt: bonny murder thriller with surreal twists
Guilt (BBC2), starring Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives as two Edinburgh brothers who can't bear the sight of each other, is a murder thriller that might have escaped from the imagination of Billy Connolly. Convoluted, paranoid and hypnotic, it was also mordantly funny.
