“Even I, an American, love this show with its mostly British concerns. Both Rusbridger and Barber are distinguished former editors and their tone and manner is just right. But Barber’s humblebragging (but not really humble) about his globetrotting is the one off-putting thing about the show. Let me extend that a bit: Barber’s America-philia (carried over from his time at the FT, which has become a thoroughly American rag run mostly by Americans though owned by Japanese) stops me from giving it five stars.”
