Was on Saturday. E1 on demand

E2 on Saturday 23rd Oct

We first meet Jean on a rainy Manchester morning, overcome with grief as she discovers that Rory has shockingly died on his way home from their vintage treasure-trove retreat in the South of France.

Heartbroken Jean then makes the dark discovery that all of their money has disappeared, their shop has been re-mortgaged to the brim and their assets have been pawned off.

With the dwindling remainder of thousands in their joint account eventually spent on Rory’s funeral, Jean finds her life thrown upside down. Until her solicitor tells her that her husband luckily did not sell their cottage in the French antiques hub, Saint Victoire.

However, when Jean finds out that the lavish ring Rory was supposed to bring back to her has gone missing, she notices something is wrong and jets off to Saint Victoire. Will she find the answers she’s looking for?

I hadn’t twigged that her house wouldn’t actually have been sold! Yes, that makes more sense that she might go back.

I’d watch a second series. It was fun if rather preposterous at times!

But will Mrs white 2 be back ?

And if she loved him. Why did she run him
Off the road

Or knew he didn’t love her and wanted wife no 1

I wasn't sure at first but actually ending up liking it. I found it easy and undemanding - the sort of thing you don't really have to concentrate on.

The theme tune was unbelievably cheesy though.

I hope they'll do a second series.

I loved it. Sad that nothing was tied up really at the end and that it is over but I hope it will be back for a second series. It made me laugh a lot.

But I do love the v v easy watching of it.

Disappointing ending....so was the estate agent a complete fake that no one else in the town had met whilst Mrs White was there? And hadn't the rest of the town met the fake Mrs White already as they thought she was the real Mrs White and not 'the other woman'.... if she was the woman at the crash site why didn't she take the Ruby ring then? I'm confused...
I was hoping that either the police chiefs wife was the baddy or the taxi driving love interest... Grin

I feel like I need to watch it again knowing the end result to see how everything ties up.

Wasn't it said that he had been seen with "women", so maybe no one knew?

Didn't Gloria's son take the ring before she could?

The whole thing was preposterous.

I liked the idea but it didn't work somehow?

Been away for a bit and went to watch just now ( on the treadmill again!) and I can only find the last episode ? So I'm watching with interest, previously, the last episode I saw was where the two older people renewed their vows. I've missed loads haven't I ?
