The well-known cast (Dawn French, Mark Heap etc) draw you in, but the cliché characters and cheap storyline develop at an extremely slow pace making for a difficult watch. The writing is truly a mess and all over the place. Neither funny, dramatic or interesting.
I kept watching trying to fathom why ITV thought this would be suitable for an 8pm mid-week slot, possibly more suited as a daytime drama on an unknown satellite channel.
Please please ITV don't waste your money on commissioning another series, a better option would be throwing it down the drain. Dawn French, focus on making another series of the exquisite drama Delicious.
1 star for the stunning location and costumes, most certaintly not worthy of the ghastly writting.
