Press clippings

The lovely Bob & Rose (ITV) went nap on charm, that indefinable quality which loosens your glue. You will be pleased to hear, they lived happily ever after. It was, of course, a fairy story.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th October 2001

Yet, considering it's still early days for the series, episode one of Bob and Rose is little short of a marvel. It's utterly mainstream but quietly subversive in the assumptions Russell T Davies makes.

Graham Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 10th September 2001
