Critics' reviews - 17th Jan 2008

Paul English, Daily Record:

There's a teenage soundtrack and beach action one minute, then scenes with OAPs saying "arrr" in the pub. And while the kids are frisky and sun-kissed, the adults are stiff and regionalised.
That said, it was great to see Grange Hill head Mrs McCluskey again. I'd wondered what she was up to ... making mutineers walk the plank, from the sound of things. All she was missing was the wooden leg and parrot.
