British Comedy Guide, 14th September 2023Of course, like most National Trust buildings, it didn't matter if you never actually visited it, or thought the whole thing was outdated, dusty and worm-ridden. Personally, I could never watch more than nine minutes of Monarch without trying to find some CSI on satellite.
Caitlin Moran, The Times, 24th October 2005As 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.
