Press previews have been incredibly positive for Bouquet Of Barbed Wire, it is recommended in all TV press including last night's Front Row on Radio 4. Both reviewers liked it - 'highly recommended' from Mark Lawson and 'beautifully acted' from Bel Mooney. Listen again here for another week.

The Sunday Express TV editor recently tweeted -

"Watching first ep of Bouquet of Barbed Wire. V good. Great performances." and "Bouquet of Barbed Wire ITV1 Mon is a hit. finished first ep. superb acting/great script. haven't seen original but almost dont care."

The TV Times magazine gives it 5 stars -

"the chilling three part adaptation is still riveting stuff...not much is revealed in the first episode, but we guarantee it's enough to make you fall hook line and sinker for this wonderfully portrayed psychological thriller."

Today's Times says -

"If you want to call it new, Bouquet Of Barbed Wire is ITV's best new drama serial for a while. It has relentless pace, spiky dialogue, dark sexual motivations and hearfelt acting. It's twists shock because they aren't signposted miles back"
