You always hope when you watch a series, that if will build and build, and end with a big finale. This series did, earlier on it seemed as if we were heading for the wedding finale, which seems a natural conclusion in sitcom land, but there's a twist. There was a clue earlier on in the series, where was dad going on Thursdays?
Here we learn exactly where be was on Thursdays. A little bit of a twist in the making. Let's be honest we were all expecting it it be Kitty, played by the wonderful Ritchie.
I'll just point out, that there has been a fair bit of objectification of men here, and whilst I'm all for ripped torso on a hunky man, in these days of equality, let's just remember it's not ok for one sex, but is ok for the other? Just saying.
The acting has been marvellous, I loved the way that Cathy looked after her makeover. My favourite character has now become Marilyn, I adore the gorgeous Siobhan Finneran, and that character I just utterly adore, she's magical.
Sometimes you watch a show, and it's an effort, sometimes shows take a little time to warm up, and then you totally fall in love with them, that's the case here. Please let's have more.
Lovely, 9/10.
