The scores are out of 10 - started as a 'star count' up to 5 but there were half-stars so doubled it for convenience. Price is £, listed as '3' for 'free' shows.

The 'score' column is the expression of value for money - points per pound - taking average score divided by price, multiplied by 100 for convenience.
