By far the best directed, scripted and acted comedy the BBC has made for years. Or at least since Motherland!

By far the best thing I've watched on TV this year.

Very under baked in some ways and over the top in others. A great cast given some corny gags that mainly failed to draw on the huge potential humour of 2020.

I have to say I was quite disappointed by this three hours of TV. I know it was based on a true story therefore had to follow the events as they happened but what it amounted to was three hours of police procedure which would be more suited to a drama documentary of one hours length. Having not read the news story about the Pembroke murders, I was expecting something with a bit of a plot twist and I think the makers tried to hint at this via some red herring style treatment of the son and the wife. These of course ended up just being dead ends and a rather tedious court sequence that took up most of the third instalment. An episode of Crown Court would be just as interesting. It left me wondering what the point of this mini series had been.

Very well written and convincing tale of love gone wrong. Strong cast perform well but cinema verite style camera work could annoy some people.

Excellent snatch yarn from down under via the Beeb.

Excellent. Touching, funny and unpredictable.

The best 'kids' film I've seen for ages!
