Beautiful drama with great acting!

Paul Kaye and Michelle Collins are both amazing in this, Michelle is stunning and sensitive as well as strong as Abby, and Paul is endearing as her best friend Kenny. There have been 3 series of this drama now, and I have been glued to the screen all the way through. All the other actors are great too, with subtle humour and wise lessons!
