“proof that the co-creator of This Country is a genius”

“What makes it fascinating, however, what makes you unable to tear your eyes away from the screen
is the increasing impossibility of pinning the real Charlie Cooper down.”

“He draws you on with that same mixture of wonder,
naivete and then wit undercutting your certainty just when you begin to think that things have stabilised.”

“a three-part investigation into a handful of folk traditions, myths and legends, is a joy.
It’s perfectly balanced; interested, insightful; respectful but tongue-in-cheek where levity is required.”
