Decent TV romcom

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

When I saw this two part drama advertised on television I thought I'd give it a go and wasn't disappointed, while it something I'd bother watching again it was a good way to pass a couple of hours.

Michelle Ryan played Saz, a woman obsessed by numbers. She has read that most happily married women are wed to their eleventh sexual partner and as the episode opens she is walking up the aisle with her Mister Eleven... or so she thinks. At the reception she bumps into an Australian who she believed she's had a drunken one night stand with, however he informs her that nothing happened so Mister Eleven is really only Mister Ten. He isn't too happy when she starts talking about it on their wedding night and as they argue it emerges that he had slept with another woman early in their relationship. With her marriage falling apart Saz gets closer to the Australian and it looks as if he may be the one for her... after all if he didn't sleep with her before he could be number eleven.

This might not have been the greatest of programmes but it managed to be funny, moderately sexy and until the end I wasn't sure which man she'd end up with. Michelle Ryan did a good job as the rather neurotic Saz and was ably supported by the supporting cast.
