Praise for THE BRITISH MIRACLE MEAT

• The Guardian hailed the show as a “flawlessly executed programme - one of the most audaciously satirical spoofs ever aired in the UK. A full-blooded roar of a show that deserves an immediate watch.”
• The New Statesman remarked that: “The British Miracle Meat, [Edmonds] says more than any list of grim statistics or pious piece of journalism ever could.
• The Times wrote - “It raised serious questions, not only about poverty, but about human morality too…” While the Independent called it “a sledgehammer satire for a nation on its knees.”
