British Comedy Guide, 14th September 2023As I mentioned last week, I was genuinely excited when BBC1 began running trailers for this latest series, which must be as sure a sign of encroaching age as a grey pubic hair or an inexplicable urge to place a doily beneath every object in the house. Quite why I enjoy the programme is a mystery - perhaps my hate receptors are at their lowest ebb on a Sunday evening.
Charlie Brooker, The Guardian, 3rd November 2001Monarch of the Glen is 100% tartan flannel. The Highlands are heart-stoppingly lovely. The castle looks as if it is twirled out of barley sugar. Even the new ranger is beautiful, particularly when diving naked into a pool by a waterfall.
