TV review: Mum, BBC2, episode 4
There was an interesting Facebook exchange about Mum recently. Some were saying that the only 'real' character in it was Lesley Manville's long-suffering widow Cathy. Some were saying that others were also real, but some were cartoonish. What everyone seemed to agree on, however, was that this is a warm, lovely series.
