Is anyone else watching this? A funny, touching inoffensive comedy in a great Northern tradition. Great to see Stephanie Cole again. Lots of strong quirky Northern women. Love the views of Scarborough, it's a place I love. We went there for holidays when I was little.

Recorded a few episodes and watched half of the first one.
That was enough!
Thought it was old fashioned beyond reasonable belief.The hairdressers salon was something straight from the 1960’s.
The script matched it.

I like it cos it's old fashioned and quite gentle. Makes a change. Each to their own though. I hope we get a second series, I love it.

Really disappointed!
And the BBC wonders why viewing figures are dropping and people are watching Netflix instead sad

Aww Jane, thats a pity but thanks for the post. Now we will get more reality TV sh***. Scarborough was great with super characters and scenery.

Oh, I am so disappointed to read this, that we won’t see another series of Scarborough.
When you see some of the tripe that gets re-commissioned, and yes, I mean Hold The Sunset, Boomers, and of course Mum, the latter I know I am in the minority as most GN’ers loved it, but I found it sad and rather cruel, and just NOT FUNNY!
