It's the latest six-part Kay Mellor drama. It's about three women, Linda, Sue and Gail, as they - according to the official blurb - struggle with the changes and responsibilities that come with being a modern woman of a certain age. Phyllis Logan, Miranda Richardson and Zoë Wanamaker lead the cast.

Trailer here -

Anyone else going to be watching?

did she also write the utter shite that was love lies and records?

southeastdweller · 01/01/2018 21:05

Yep, that's her!

I find her stuff pretty twee and dull despite good casts.

GetHappy · 02/01/2018 00:11

I’ll be watching Smile

babigailwabble · 02/01/2018 11:18

I'm sure i'll watch about it and complain to anyone who will listen about what hammy nonsense it is Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2018 22:30

Planner is set

thenightsky · 03/01/2018 19:02

I'm going to give this one a go, despite the wet soppy drivel that was Lies and Records. I'm very forgiving Grin

southeastdweller · 03/01/2018 21:14

What accent is Miranda Richardson aiming for? Confused

Watching, other much negative to report so far, again bit too much going on

Slartybartfast · 03/01/2018 21:15

Not much negative

scattercushion · 03/01/2018 21:16

What's the millions of duh duh duh cliffhangers that fizzle to nothing?

ShiftyMcGifty · 03/01/2018 21:20

What is going on with the white shite under her eyes? HD make up gone wrong?

ShiftyMcGifty · 03/01/2018 21:21

Ha. Never mind. Just saw the punchline.

scattercushion · 03/01/2018 21:28

It's so heavy-handed!

eddiemairswife · 03/01/2018 21:32

I started to watch, but have given up. I'm really not keen on Kay Mellor's work.

Slartybartfast · 03/01/2018 21:34

Doubt I will carry on with this

GoingRogue · 03/01/2018 21:43

It's petty crap isn't it?! Why is Miranda Richardson talking so slowly and over-anunciating?!

JustDanceAddict · 03/01/2018 21:46

Pretty shite so far! Cliche Central

Helpotron3000 · 03/01/2018 21:46

Why doesn't she just tell his wife they've been having a 30 year affair. It's not like she hasn't got proof, since they have an adult son together

Helpotron3000 · 03/01/2018 21:57

This show is driving me mad

southeastdweller · 03/01/2018 22:19

Too much packed in as usual for Kay Mellor.

Slartybartfast · 03/01/2018 22:28

I think mirador Richardson either had a tooth problem or something in her mouth 😕

dogsdinnerlady · 04/01/2018 07:20

Girlfriends?? In a tabloid news story they would be referred to as pensioners or grans.
Another Kay Mellow cliche-fest with shouty, borderline batshit women as in that thing about registrars.
What on earth is Phyllis Logan doing with all that hair? Ridiculous. Please god they are not going to reform as a girl band!
Won't be watching the rest.

Vitalogy · 04/01/2018 07:29

What on earth is Phyllis Logan doing with all that hair? Ridiculous. I think her and Zoe Wanamaker's characters were going for the au natural look weren't they.

Why can’t these women do things for themselves? Or understand their financial position.
It might as well be called sons.
