I loved this - but I have had a few glasses of wine.
Siobhan Finneran is fabulous in everything.

And Neil Pearson!

loved it...didn’t recognise Siobhan FinnerN at first. Rebecca Front is brill in everything

Hilarious.
Good start for a new comedy as often it takes time for characters to "grow" on you.
Snappy writing - we'd got the whole history and set up within about 5 minutes.
Some dramas can't manage that within 8 weeks😉
I can see "I'm not getting out the car", becoming a recurring line.

EmmaC78 · 06/06/2020 22:46

I am enjoying it too, it is difficult to find good new comedy so this looks hopeful.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/06/2020 18:33

Yes enjoyed. Easy watching

The80sweregreat · 09/06/2020 14:52

It was funny. I liked Cat and her wacky mum.

Stopthehop · 09/06/2020 23:36

I just watched the pilot and 5 episodes, it's so good.

Just binged them all over two nights. Brilliant stuff. So refreshing to see so many women characters who seemed fully rounded, flawed but still likeable. Loved that they could have gone down the easy route of... chalk and cheese, they don't get on, Cathy's embarrassed of her sister's OTT ways... but they just moved right on past that cliche and had the two younger women find an oddly beautiful bond.

Just finished them all on iplayer… great series. Really enjoyed it

qwertyuiop098 · 10/06/2020 14:28

Love it. So heart warming.

Wingedharpy · 13/06/2020 00:49

Rebecca Front's line in last night's episode:
"I missed the first sexual revolution because I was living in Guildford".

Love it.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 13/06/2020 09:14

Watched the second one last night, quite enjoying it. Think I'll end up watching them all on iPlayer rather than "live".

This is hilarious thanks for the heads up Grin

I liked that bit too. Along with "he's a sexual shire horse of a man" :) A lot of really funny bits in it.
WiryTail · 13/06/2020 20:26

I'm in the minority, turned it off after 10 minutes.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 14/06/2020 11:14

“How do you even get to 7th base!” ....
“I’ve a very high pain threshold”

I think it’s genius Grin

Birthday meal was funny

icelolly99 · 14/06/2020 23:48

I enjoyed the pilot a couple of years ago. Glad they've made a series.

runningon · 15/06/2020 19:46

Really funny and heart-warming, hope they do another series!

Extracurricularfatigue · 15/06/2020 23:30

We just watched the first four episodes and loved it. So good to see four lead women, and I noticed quite a lot of the crew were women too. Also think the soundtrack is fab.

icelolly99 · 16/06/2020 02:30

Watched the last 3 episodes tonight. Enjoyed very much. I almost predicted how it would end....but not quite! I agree, great soundtrack. Plus I noticed it is written by comedian Holly Walsh.

Extracurricularfatigue · 16/06/2020 08:19

I was going to make myself a playlist and the BBC has done a track listing online for episodes 1 and 2. Hope the others follow.

icelolly99 · 16/06/2020 11:49

Extracurricularfatigue do you have a link please/instructions on how to find it. I've looked at BBC iplayer and Sounds and I can't see what I need. Smile

Extracurricularfatigue · 16/06/2020 23:50

Here you go.

Extracurricularfatigue thank you.

Loved the wedding dress scene

Why did she get the dress If hated it

Surely she wasn’t just doing whole wedding for mum
