CGiii Comment
Love in the winter of life and secret lesbian assignations...
Beautifully written and perfectly played...an emotional rollercoaster ride with a profound sense of humour.
It will leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling.
And - we don't often say this...but, a mighty congratulations to the BBC: quite possibly the most electrically charged lesbian kiss ever to be screened...on Christmas Eve!
UPDATE...series 2 & 3 continue in the same vein...steeped in quality, assured entertainment...compelling to the end.
