"An overpowering experience, I've never been more moved by a piece of television." (Peter Black, Daily Mail)
"Much better than a mere tribute. It evokes an enormous nostalgia." (The Observer)
"What was so moving was the very 'ordinariness' of this girl, called on to become 'a great artist' then called on for something more: to die on the very threshold of her maturity." (The Guardian)
