John Sessions: On The Spot (BBC2) was a wild career around his subconscious. Given four objects to improvise on, which only serve to inflame an overheated imagination, he swings from allusion to allusion with the agility of a gibbon in a forest fire. For us it was like being caught in a fusillade of Proust, Ibsen, EastEnders, and actors in various stages of neurosis.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th June 1989
