Things reach a climax with the Sharmas deciding that they should go home and Richard looking as though promotion will take him away from the village.
The series rounds off well with great music and contemporary issues highlighted.
An enjoyable sabatacal.
Knowing many of the actors from some great subsequent quality Welsh TV shows, I would like to give it a 10 but feel I have to be objective for those that will just be watching for the story.

What an incredible let-down
koohii18 March 2024
The story doesn't end--it just stops. Nothing is really resolved.
This series had so much potential. The actors were amazing. The scenery was glorious. The writing was complete and utter CRAP! These supposedly life-changing decisions and revelations were handled with the same severity and intensity as a discussion about the weather.
And I'm sorry--no disrespect intended for the actor--but whoever chose the song to be sung by the village rock band did not do anyone any favors. The adaptation completely butchers it.
Honestly, watching this show was a sad, sad, sad experience that was depressing more than uplifting, engaging, or entertaining. Imagine if the money used to make this had instead been spent to make something good?
