Press

"Make it Thursday" said Terry Scott in Happy Ever After (BBC1) "It's a rotten night on telly." Considering this show is on a Thursday, that is criticism of a high order and object lesson to us all. It was, in fact, a disappointing night. The goodies on the wrapper of Radio Times bear little relation to the contents of the tin.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th January 1976
