YO U SAY
Into the wilds: Jones (ITV, 8pm)BBC1 BBC2
Congratulations, BBC1. What a thriller Showtrial
is. After waiting for so long for you to come to
your senses, finally you have produced this. Cast
perfect and balanced with believable interaction
of characters. My husband is 79 and I am 75 and
we just had to stay up and binge it. Like a good
book you can’t put down. The most amazing
thing though, my husband did not fall asleep once
during the five hours. Also, we could hear all the
dialogue without the subtitles. Perfect in every
way. More of this standard, please.
Diana Newson
