TELEVISION / Review of the week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Reviews of Goggle Eyes (BBC2 Wed): 'Nine-thirty seems a little late for drama so spankingly devoid of sex and, unless the cat gets the hamster, violence.' Nancy Banks-Smith, Guardian
'An excellent (Alun) Armstrong was fully stretched fielding the two girls and a malevolent cat, and a splendid cameo as a deaf babysitter came from the indestructible Thora Hird.' Harry Eyres, Times
'It makes for a very bland serial. . . There is something supremely inconsequential about this show.' Maureen Paton, Daily Express
'It's a mystery to me how the Boggle Brains at the Beeb . . . schedule an adult programme like Casualty before 8pm - yet when they get their hands on Goggle Eyes, an excellent family show . . . they stick it on at 9.25pm.' Pam Francis, Today
