Outstanding, 19 February 2007
9/10
Author: adsdmnel from United Kingdom

An outstanding TV drama. Catherien Tate truly shows that she is not just a one trick pony. Her performance is well considered and not over the top, a genius at work.

The storyline is the strength of this drama. Three generations of women who struggle to come terms with their own problems is the main crux of the action.

As mentioned above Catherien Tate excels as a frustrated single parent. The supporting cast is truly outstanding as well, both the Gran and Daughter characters were well performed by the actors.

Overall a surprising hit well done ITV1.
