Anyone else been enjoying this very 'simple' programme. I think it is hilarious and sad at the same time.

Just looked, but couldn't see it via I player, so googled it and the 5 wedding episodes came up on the BBC web page.

Funny, but so cringeworthy ?

P.S. must admit I thought Mum was played by Cherie Lungi, at first , they look similar to me. Good job I didn't say that in the hearing of the other female characters...ugh...old people.

The elderly parents in Mum were hilarious! Lesley Manville was brilliant. I thought the character of the girlfriend was so poignant, a damaged unconfident person desperate to be loved and accepted for who she was. The actress who played her got this across so well.

I love understated drama like this!

Him and Her: the Wedding was so well observed. I cringed throughout! Bridzilla!
