Back To Earth Part 3 Review

Once again the whole thing was cleverly done, with great sfx, cool sets and mattes, but spread thickly with self-referential, self-indulgent pap which left a nasty taste in the mouth and pitifully few gags in the belly.

John Beresford, TV Scoop, 13th April 2009

Back To Earth (Part 3) Review

Smeg. Doug Naylor scratches a particularly irritating Blade Runner itch (references to which may be lost on younger fans), then restages the twist ending to Series V's "Back To Reality". The clue was there: he only changed one word in the title.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 12th April 2009
