I loved this show, it has a similar vibe to Benidorm as you'd expect, but it has a bit more going on, and it has a heart. There's a story arc which spans the six episodes, it's all well thought out, and neatly developed. Darren Litten knows how to write comedy, but also wove in a serious side to it.

Terrific acting, I must give mentions to Maggie Ollerenshaw and Stephanie Cole, both mature performers were outstanding, and showed why they've been in the game for so long Tyldesley and Manford were both terrific also.

It was a bit of a slow burner, I wasn't hooked after the first few, but by the end I was. I truly hope they continue with it, there is so much more they can do.

More please. 8/10

This is a wonderful series full of well-drawn and fresh characters set in a small-size situation. It's calmness to not be grand or go for set-piece gags sets it apart from many similar-looking sitcoms. Expect an easy-paced show with an easy mood as the characters push through some tough problems. The cast are great and give it backbone without any trying to grab the limelight.

As it happens, I watched this series during the Covid-19 lock-down. I'd have loved it anyway but here it was a much-needed dose of glorious outdoor shots and open space.

This was great show from start to finish, it was very gentle fun, and mostly the humour was irony or farce.

The music was great and the characters were very strongly written. We had a fabulous ensemble of actors who really were brilliantly cast.

I loved it and can't wait for series 2.

This is what you need in lockdown. A good laugh and easy watch. Did all 6 episodes in one night and wish there was more, brilliant acting, silly and clever humour. You can't go wrong

It may not be the cutting edge of comedy, but Scarborough makes me think of my area, just prettier. All of the characters can be identified as caricatures of northern working class pubs.

I can't express how much I think of it. If you like Still Open All Hours or Dad's Army, you'll probably like this.
