Barry Didcock's TV review: Guilt, BBC Scotland

There's much riding on Guilt for BBC Scotland, now seven months into its life and with a somewhat precarious hold on the nation's affections. Ratings matter, of course, but in critical terms you stand or fall on the success of your dramatic output. Guilt was our first real chance to test that maxim and see what the panjandrums at Pacific Quay have been spending our money on.

Barry Didcock, The National (Scotland), 27th October 2019

Two estranged brothers take on the guilt in question following a drink driving hit-and-run that leaves an old man dead in this new drama from writer Neil Forsyth. The ensuing coverup pushes the brothers deeper and deeper into compromising territory. A heart-thumping watch. (This will be shown on BBC Two in the rest of the UK on 30 October.)
