I don't feel I wasted my time watching it but I'd like another series to find out what happens. The cast were all really good actors.

I mean, Alice gave her kid a right royal roasting for bottling everything up - but that's because Alice was Off Her Rocker and kept her dead husband's sperm in the freezer and sloped off to see the Mortician for deep and meaningfuls and got pissed a lot and generally needing bailing out so Charlotte didn't have the luxury of grieving. I mean, she was basically Saffy and Alice was Edina. It just needed Granny Joanna to stagger into the beautiful house (down the stairs) chain-smoking, sloshing the Bolly and calling Charlotte an uptight troll (dahling).

I hadn't realised there would be a second series, but it was so obvious from the way it ended that it was to create openings for a second series.

But not sure that I want to watch some sort of cat fight between Alice and new business partner, who has obviously lied to her about the children.

So many of the characters are caricatures that tv people seem to rely on.

[butterpuffed]

Well that was annoying. Not only were loose ends not tied up , new problems were thrown up , so there's obviously going to be a second series.

I always thought that there were second series because of the first one being so popular, I didn't know they were decided beforehand.

Did quite like it though, enough to keep me watching till the end.

[MaggieFS]

I don't think a second is confirmed? Plenty of other programmes manage to 'finish' a series whilst still leaving the door open to future ones though. Perhaps they can change the writers?!?

[purpleme12]

Well I really enjoyed it!

[Clawdy]

I did love that pale blue silk dress Alice was wearing at the party though. Wonder if it was vintage.

[murbblurb]

Is that it?? Did see Nigel Havers doing some actual acting, Joanna Lumley really does need to stick to travelogues now.

Pills haven't been issued in bottles for years, and it takes ages to connect and start up a pressure washer so not much use for surprising unwanted visitors. Would like to know where Alice got the really quiet pressure washer though!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I think they have left it fo a second series

[SophieB100]

Oh dear, I didn't realise that it had finished until I read this thread I just assumed that it would continue Sunday! It grew on me, took a while, but glad I stuck with it.

[SoupDragon]

Thinking about it, it did kind of finish. Everyone was in a better place and on the road to recovery. Alice had found her feet, her parents were back together, Harry's parents acknowledged their daughter, the plot of land...

There were enough loose ends to make a second series a possibility but it did finish on a positive note (creepy George's stalking aside!)

[LadyEloise]

It begins on tv in Ireland tonight. I haven't read this thread ( yet ).

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Hope you like @LadyEloise

I did

Tho many didnt

[LadyEloise]

I gave up. Deleted the final two episodes. Life is too short.
I was surprised KH took the role.
But I suppose it's a paying job.

[Skatingpark97]

@LadyEloise , KH is an executive producer of the show, it's coming back for a second series, they need to speed the story lines up, it was too slow.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Oh good. I wanted a s2

[mum2jakie]

Glad there's going to be a second series too. I enjoyed this one - a little bit quirky with a strong cast
