I know this second series is a bit frothy and silly, but it it’s just what I need to watch right now.

Sadly the actress Patsy Kensit who plays a key role in the story has done something to her face, maybe fillers but it looks uneven and unsmiling. I remember when she used to do the Fairy Soap ad. Why do actresses try to make themselves look younger and end up looking like a waxworks?

Martin Kemp looked very good for his age.

Bath is such a beautiful city.

I watched it, well started to watch it, but found it banal. Turned it off.

I hadn't watched the first series but I enjoyed it. Actually I thought Patsy Kensit looked better than when she was younger and Martin Kemp just keeps improving with age.

I turned it off as well. Life’s too short to watch rubbish!

I thought it dragged on a bit. It was OK but not great.

I think the first series was better, but it was just a bit of light viewing for a Sunday night.

I too think the first series was better. I quite liked the differences between the two main characters. I don't think it's meant to be taken too seriously - a typical afternoon/Sunday evening programme.

However, I thought last night's offering was silly beyond belief and I don't think I'll bother to watch any more.

I enjoyed the first series of this - I’m a big fan if Jason Watkins; but when I found out that Rob Brydon was in it I was rather turned off. The storyline was really pretty awful and it dragged on.

I too started to watch it last week looking for light escapism and had to turn off, too many familiar faces spoilt it I think because I watched it this week and was able to enjoy the whole of it. The partnership was quite heart warming! (I haven’t seen any of the first series)

It's extremely light froth - just what I'm fancying at the minute!!

I enjoy it. Lovely to have some light and frothy on a Sunday night. Jason Watkins is great in everything.

We tried to watch it but gave up. Watched first series but this wasn't as good.

The last episode was dire and just dragged on and on. I wanted to enjoy this new series but it’s a disappointment so far.
