The leads did their best with a ferocious scipt.

I have no idea why Britbox digs up this drek from the graves they were long buried in but they do, write an enticing blurb and hook a few of us suckers in.

The blurb was excellent. Two women with a dead husband find they were both married to him at the same time.

I watched this thing in disbelief, the leads are wonderful actors but it must have been a slow income year (arts is a shaky business) and..... I couldn't finish it, sorry. It was that bad. Brenda keeps passing out, Susie keeps fobbing off her baby, the baddies are a joke in the keystone cops style and everyone lies.

Torture. For the viewer.

3/10 for the poor leads who did their best.

I can't believe I sat through 3 hours of this

I stuck around out of curiosity but could've easily checked out 20 minutes in. First (and this spoiler is a biggie), you have to suspend belief that the bygamist husband was able to survive catching fire in a locked room before it explodes and was then then able to check himself out of hospital with only a few superficial burns a day or two later. Wife #1 has her house burgled by the baddies, then has the genius idea of stashing a bag full of thousands of pounds in a wardrobe in said house, which then quickly gets taken by those same baddies. Wife #2 gets robbed and beaten at her flat, goes into premature labor, and after a feverish day or two in hospital checks herself out with a perfectly healthy baby. The young girl who they found at the brothel turns out to be a computer genius in one episode, was then only capable of fetching coffee the next. I could go on and on, as this miniseries seemed to do. Save yourself the time and don't bother.

Promising but baby sitter bizarre

It started of a bit unbelievable from the start. This series was more comedic than your typical UK mystery/cop drama. The actors were very good but the episodes were a bit strange even for the 90s. I can see why it only lasted two episodes. The mother just pawned her kid off on the older roommate the entire time not to mention how rude she was to the secretary. I gave it 4 because it was cool to see the 90s again and the actors were great but expect to be thinking huh? If you like the British keeping up appearances era type two episode mini series give it a try! Not bad for a Sunday night short binge.
