I love this line from the review. Re-commissioning editors, Jonathan doesn’t just bite the hand that feeds him, he slow roasts it.
‘There were some quirky camera angles and croppings, as well as some seemingly random visual images and clips of music, and all of these reminded you of what it is that is so refreshing about Meades as a presenter: he treats the familiar as alien, and panders neither to viewer nor commissioning editor.’
