Geoffrey Macnab, i Newspaper, 17th March 2023Allelujah review
Starry NHS hospital drama is less than scalpel-sharp.
Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 16th March 2023Allelujah, Alan Bennett's 2018 play about the ailing fortunes of a geriatric hospital, gets a tonally bizarre big screen adaptation courtesy of Call The Midwife creator Heidi Thomas and director Richard Eyre. A slew of beloved British stage and screen stars - among them Judi Dench and Derek Jacobi - play the hospital's ailing patients, while Jennifer Saunders (as a ward nurse), Russell Tovey (as a government management consultant) and Bally Gill (as an immigrant doctor) attend to the plot, which revolves around the cash-strapped hospital's viability. Tovey gets a couple of good scenes, but a last-minute swerve into The Good Nurse territory doesn't come off at all.
Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 15th March 2023Review - Inside No. 9: How Do You Plead?

Reece Goodall, The Boar, 18th June 2021Review: How Do You Plead? one of No. 9's creepiest eps
Given this is Inside No. 9, nothing in How Do You Plead? is as clear-cut as it seems and everyone has something to hide.
