Tom Jones on ITVX review

Hannah Waddingham leaves a real mark in this tale of class, sex and money.

Tom Jones review

A funny, frisky take on the classic comic novel.

Carol Midgley, The Times, 5th May 2023

Tom Jones is one of the funniest, lustiest novels of all time - so why have ITVX stripped it bare?

Gwyneth Hughes has flipped the gender of Henry Fielding's narrator - replacing Tom's wit with Sophia's boredom. Bridgerton, this isn't.

Tom Jones review

This show should sizzle ... but there's absolutely zero chemistry here.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 4th May 2023
