I am enjoying it in the vein of Fleabag and Gavin and Stacey. Great writing and whoever came up with the idea for Kelly must have spent a lot of time in Essex.

However, it's feeling a bit claustrophobic. I'd like to have seen Cathy on her date at Pizza Express or see her working in the classroom. I start to get a bit stir crazy with shows that are set entirely in one place. That's the beauty of the other two shows being filmed quite a lot on location - great shots of Barry in G & S or London in Fleabag. Really gives you a feel for the world the characters inhabit. Also Peter Mullan's quiet lusting after Cathy is a bit annoying. At least he's finally asked her out for a coffee in the episode I've just watched. Also Pauline is very similar to Dawn in Gavin and Stacey, except she's vile to everyone, not just her partner.

Thanks for the reminder, I loved the previous series of this! The actress who plays Cathy was in a BBC period drama called The Cazalets yonks back and I've followed her since then as think she is fab.

Oh excellent, I knew it was coming up but didn’t know when. Absolutely love this- Lesley Manville is brilliant- her characters relentless patience and kindness, but actually wanting a life of her own. All the characters are brilliant and sad in their own ways. Wonderful acting, can’t wait!

I read this interview with Lesley Manville and it made me really happy to think of her on a spa break with her lovely friends who play Kelly and Pauline!

Thanks for that article. I was shocked when she swore Grin

Awww - what a lovely image of 'Kelly' and her newborn moving in with her during filming. I love her even more now!
