A combination of clever direction, disorienting photography and a brilliant, subtle score that would none the less blast you with atonal blobs of sound from time to time meant that already Remember Me is proving distinctly hard to forget. Telegraph

It is fabulous full-on spooksville under an ominous black Yorkshire sky I'm still dead scared though; hooked too. And I'm going to get that dripping tap in our bathroom sorted. Quick, before it's too late. Guardian

For all its genuflections to old ghost stories, this is a thoroughly modern one. The benign Palin recast as a possibly homicidal octogenarian carries an allegorical punch. The Times

If you like a good psychological horror, Remember Me starring Michael Palin and Mark Addy is definitely for you. If not, maybe have a cushion at the ready to hide your face. You will be made to jump. A lot. Metro

We had wanted to sympathise with old Tom - suddenly we couldn't trust anything he said or did. This was a brilliant, manipulative piece of casting. If Michael Palin is capable of being rude, he's capable of anything. Daily Mail

With a surefooted script from Gwyneth Hughes and shot for maximum creepiness by director Ashley Pearce, this opening episode manages to make ghost story clich s feel fresh and genuinely unsettling. Telegraph, Saturday Review

Floors creak, lights flicker, taps drip and spines will be chilled to tremendous effect. MR James would be very impressed. The Times, Saturday Review

What it all means at this point, is anyone's guess, but the brooding atmosphere and Palin's performance are more than enough to keep us watching warily. Mail on Sunday, Event

Writer Gwyneth Hughes's chilling ghost story in three parts features a tour de force from Michael Palin. Intelligently rationed moments of pure terror and a good script make this one to watch. Observer
