Better than the pilot, enjoyable.

Despite there being a big gap in the transmission of this one in regards to the pilot, it feels as if little time has elapsed, with everything still feeling very new and fresh, Cathy and Cat are still trying to suss one another out.

It really is a cash of the cultures, a comedy device that was used a hell of a lot twenty years ago, it's become less fashionable now, but it kind of works well, largely due to the two polar opposite mothers.

The cast are good, but Rebecca Front, is a comedy legend.

Love the music used throughout the show, great choices. I know Siobhan Finneran is supposed to look a bit tacky, she looks terrific.

Better than the pilot, 7/10.

Episode 1.2

The episode starts off with a parking prank involving a boat. Poor Cathy she is too trusting of her new half sister Cat.

Cat even invites herself and her mother to a joint birthday party dinner.

Cathy is too nice to her new family but she needs to decide whether to forgive her boyfriend Marcus. At least he knew the boat was going to hit the house.

It is an affectionate look at the class divide but it is too uneven for my liking. Rebecca Front steals the show as Tess. Newly widowed, addicted to online dating sites and in this episode going out with another former cast member of Drop the Dead Donkey.
