From a man with charisma to a man with charisn'tma, Rory McGrath who, on the evidence of the first edition of A Word In Your Era (BBC2, Sunday), has the rare ability to de-oxygenate a studio within moments of entering it. [...] Heavily scripted ad-libs plummet to the floor like turkeys, while a heavily dubbed studio audience launches itself unconvincingly into yet another pre-cued paroxysm. John Wells as Queen Victoria did his best, but getting this hopeless format to work would be like trying to kickstart a Jumbo Jet.
Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 28th September 1992
