- Jane Anderson, radio editor for Radio Times: "if you can get past the first 40 minutes, which sound as if they’ve been recorded in a cavernous cupboard, you’ll be rewarded as the drama steps up a gear and throws in some great comic lines and a blood-curdling beheading" (16-22 December 2006, p. 132).
