Here we are at a new low in television drama, a low point lower than the one before, a sub-nadir, a television basement that even a couple of years ago I might have said we'd never reach.

An exploitative, ugly, unrealistic, derivative drama written to a nasty, brutish equation that will either make you stretch out and yawn or sit up and despair, depending on your view of modern television drama.
It was called Mayday (BBC One, Sunday-Thursday, 9pm) and it was on for five nights in a row. It simply would not go away. Night after night, it bobbed to the surface, smelling of the desperation of schedulers who are fast losing their audience. Who has five consecutive nights to sit in front a TV screen? We're all far too busy sitting in front of a computer screen.
