Press

Sheila Budge seemed to have some gipsy in her as she gave Tarot readings to gullible clients on last night's Human Remains (BBC2). "I see a death ... not yours," she told one lonely woman, adding, "you have a huge hole that needs to be filled", and such quietly obscene dialogue is helping to make this spoof documentary series one of the most enjoyable to hit the screen this year.

Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 21st November 2000
