A great comedy drama - the kids steal the scenes they are in. Looks like Mary's ex and mum get the best lines. The next series screens in NZ later in the year.

Loved the start of the new series - other (not better)half dying to watch and then fell asleep all the way through, woke at the end and said 'What happened?' Grrrrr! Does that all the time - drives me bananas. I tried to give him a brief review then he said 'well how did they meet - it's been so long since the first series I've forgotten' He has the memory of a goldfish. BUT ashamed to say this time I can't quite recall either so can anyone help me out please? I think living with him is driving me doo lally, as they say in Norfolk.
