Radio Times review

Newlyweds Caroline and Kate are so happy together, even Celia's small-mindedness can't dent their celebrations.

But of course, life has a nasty way of upsetting everyone's plans; Celia is increasingly stubborn while Alan, the old softie, is caught between mother and daughter, and just can't get it right. Besides, he has problems enough of his own with his unforgiving wife.

Sally Wainwright's drama treads into some dark territory as both families struggle to deal with the unwelcome and the unexpected. But there are shocks around the corner that will test everyone. It's one of Wainwright's great talents, making sure we are comfortable thinking we know how it's all going to work out, then she throws a bucket of cold water at us, leaving us shivering and wailing, "Why did she do that?"

Radio Times review

Writer Roy Clarke's revisiting of the beloved Ronnie Barker vehicle is completely timeless, which is doubtless part of its appeal. There are no crude 21st-century technological innovations in that little corner shop in Yorkshire, it could be set in any year from the 1930s.

There's also a pervading feeling of a cosy community of the type that probably either doesn't exist or never did exist, as a series of oddballs passes through the doors of Arkwright's stores. Mrs Dawlish (Vicki Pepperdine) is the comedy nuisance here, a snobby local who's taken aback that such an old-fashioned corner shop is still flourishing.

But there are signs that Granville (David Jason) is modernising - he wants to open a coffee shop!

'Episodes' season 4 preview: more Hollywood mayhem

Four seasons on, Showtime's Episodes reads like an affectionate breakup letter to Hollywood. It's the "I love you, but..." Its primary source of humor is and always has been the pain that's caused by the very industry the series is a part of, and there's nothing more painful - and therefore more entertaining - than what happens in season four, which premieres tonight in the USA.

Is Sally Wainwright's series getting too dramatic?

This week viewers were plunged from the heights of joy into the depths of despair all in the space of an hour.

Sarah Lancashire shines in a fantastic instalment!

When series three of Last Tango in Halifax first started I definitely had my reservations especially in regards to the character of Alan's long-lost son Gary. However, Sally Wainwright's script has taken the story into a whole direction.
