(2006)
BBC TV/ BBC190′ docudrama
Co-writer with Colin Heber Percy
"An impressive facutal drama, replete with classy thesping … and great special effects." (The Guardian)

"A work of surprising sensitivity and restraint. " (The Observer)

"The main characters survived – just – and showed us we can do it too, finding new emotional riches in ourselves in the process. TV can probably be better than this, but in my experience not by much." (The Scotsman)

"Well-executed drama … a blend of first-hand accounts, superlative special effects, and formidable facts" (Time Out)

"Drama documentary Krakatoa – the Last Days scraped a rare Sunday night victory for BBC1 with the feature-length programme gaining 6.4 million (27.1%) at 9pm. The 90-minute one-off production managed to peak at 6.8 million (29.6%) at 10pm and helped give the edge to BBC1 at a time when normally ITV1 has a stranglehold over viewers. The programme was substantially above the channel’s current slot average for the year so far of 5.1 million (20.6%)." (Broadcast)
