It is the funniest thing I've seen in ages and it's such a frighteningly accurate portrayal of being a mum!

Really enjoyed it. I hope it gets commissioned for a series.

Grin Loved it. I could relate. Especially the clique (not me)

Anna Maxwell Martins character was a bit OTT at times especially with the not eating all day. However I can totally believe a parent forgetting that it's half term. The thing with the boss repeatedly asking how old her kids were rang true as well. I get people asking that again and again at work. Stop bloody asking if you don't care enough to remember!

I related to the not eating all day - I had two children's parties in one day they both only catered for the children - I actually ended up eating my child's left over wotsits and half eaten sausage roll to avoid passing out!!

Rushing to get to work, doing the school run, everything going wrong, trying to get someone to look after the kids during the holidays, not managing to eat all day - the red coat woman didn't seem over the top at all. The first five minutes In the car, that's me.

Just watched it!
I hope it gets commissioned but the headmistress meeting was so cringey I had to fast forward. Liked the rest of it though.
