Who's with me?

me and dd

cringe about shazza tho

snogging that bloke from inxs

it's funny already!

pmsl @ hyperventilating into a marigold!

paul kaye usually a good bet

Loving the cabs - straighteners and all

Anyone know where it is filmed? Saw Melanie Hill chatting about it, saying it won't show the north as gritty like most dramas try to.

not bad! not great though!

Is it me or have the same old actors/actresses been wheeled into this drama

presumably they have bbc contracts ??

I commented to dp how Jo Joyner is so much older than Paul Nicholls and was gobsmacked to find out that she is only 33! I think she's lovely, but I honestly would have said that she's almost 40.

i enjoyed this

It's supposed to be set near Warrington, it's filmed in Hoylake, Lymm and the surrounding areas adamschic.

I agree gregssausageroll, I was rather disappointed! It could be a lot better than it is!

give it time - may improve

Remember the lady in the wheelchair trying to get into the back of one of the cabs and a guy came to help? What has he been in again? Recognised him straightaway.

So the town shots were in Lymm but I was wondering about the beach shots, looked rather nice and it isn't Warrington or Lymm. I thought it was quite good, room for improvement though. Only recognised Paul Nicholl at the snogging stage, thought he was rather nice from the off, so worth watching for him.

I hate to see Northern Women stereotyped as loud mouthed, (just as much as I hate to see hear the likes of Kat in Eastenders screaming) which this did but not too exaggerated. I'm Northern and am not in the least bit gobby.

The wheelchair helper guy used to be in Soldier Soldier many years ago, for a couple of series before it ended, but he's been in a few things since

I think it's got potential but dh said he thinks it will be something I'll watch alone as wasn't impressed!

God - awful awful awful. Stereotype working class Northern woman all ballsy and then pally with each other. Rolling their eyes about dreadful fellas. Patronising load of old tosh. And why doesn't Paul Kaye's agent get him some other role than this one - same panto characters he's been playing for the last 10 years. Wont waste my time with any more of this rubbish.

I liked it - not remotely challenging, but fun to watch. Oh and I love Paul Nicholls :)

yh me too he just gets better with age too

Oh Lucky I totally agree. I won't be watching again. Every cliché going. hated it.

I only managed to catch about five minutes last night. i intend to watch on BBCiplayer. Claire Sweeny makes me feel sick at he best of times though!

Was she OTT actress of the year award in the first episode last night?

I saw the ad & that for me was enough to not bother.

Looked like Carry in Cabbie.

I thought it was quite easy watching but the type of drama that should be on a sunday

The beach shots were filmed on Hoylake and West Kirby (Wirral) Promenades. The TV Company rented a house on North Parade in Hoylake.
