User Reviews

7/10 with Barry Norman. 10/10 with Jonathan Ross.

This has always been a good show. Barry Norman was informative, but I found I could not rely on his recommendations. If he said a film was bad that seemed to be a good indication that I might like it.

When Jonathan Ross took over I fully expected the show to take a turn for the worse because up until then I'd only seen Wossy playing the fool. However when it comes to Film, Jonathan clearly takes the subject very seriously and has such a professional delivery it's as if he becomes a different person.

Jonathan is very knowledgeable and passionate about film and gives useful and thorough reviews and behind the scenes info. Most importantly he makes recommendations you can rely on. If Jonathan says a film is good, you can bet it will be. Except maybe when it comes to Japanese monster movies ;)
