    A full series please!

    Sophie Willan was great in the title role of Alma. I have to admit I really enjoyed this, it was funny, great humour, and some terrific I one liners.

    It was uplifting, bouncy, positive comedy, quite cutting humour for the BBC in recent times. It's hard to believe it was only on for half an hour, they crammed so much into it. Lorraine Ashbourne and Siobhan Finneran were hilarious.

    I only hope that a full series follows, it deserves to, this was a terrific pilot. 9/10.

    Fabulous!

    I loved this sitcom beyond words, it cleverly portrayed complicated and relevant ideas while remaining totally hilarious. Uplifting and relatable for the underrepresented. Love love love!!

    Hilarious Beyond Words

    Whether it is comedy, drama or a documentary the British do it the best! They just seem to have a knack for top quality viewing...it's almost guaranteed.

    I read the description for this show and thought...this sounds like a hoot. And of course it is. A hilarious singling out of people's quirks and situations but in no way that is demeaning to any group involved in the story. No predictable Hollywood outcomes in this comedy.

    Brilliant, real

    Saw myself and close family and friends in each and every character. Brilliant. Loved it!

    Who gives this 1 star?

    Seriously, are there people out there with no funny bone? It's proper gritty Northern humour, don't like it? Sod off and watch bloody friends. I'm a Northern lad and quite a lot of this resonates with me, similar situations and such (not escorting, but I'm free 😉) Sophie Willan has done a fine job at making me laugh... You go girl.
