This show deserves a spot on your watchlist, and I eagerly await what the future holds for this promising drama.

Enjoyable ... but very formulaic... how many murders can she cater? I'd like to see this be renewed ... but they've got to figure out a way to change her character's catering situation. Maybe if she gets some sort of catering job with the police ... I don't know. Maybe she opens up a restaurant near the police station. The acting is fine. The leading lady is charming. The chemistry between the cast members is very good. I'm just afraid their going to run out of plots. Maybe she'll marry the lead detective and "help" him with his cases. Pie In the Sky worked because the lead was a retired detective who opened up a restaurant and still worked part time. I think they cooked themselves into a corner with this one. Here's hoping they figure it out.

Mr Sidhu is a wonderful chef, and a good businesswoman, but her talents run deeper, solving murders to be precise. She teams up with the reluctant DCI Burton, and helps him solve various crimes.

A truly wonderful, refreshing and intriguing set of mysteries, if you haven't already check out the various radio plays that were done some years ago, well worth a listen.

Cosy, evening telly, nothing heavy, no bad language, no gore, just good old fashioned murder. Each episode features a level of humour, the squabbling between Mrs Sidhu and Burton is joyful.

Aside from her relationship with Burton, I am loving how she interacts with her son, Tez, he's a good lad at heart, but a bit lazy, a bit of a waster.

I enjoyed each of the four mysteries, my only hope is that a second series is commissioned, as yet there's no news.

I would never have pictures Meera Syal and Craig Parkinson as a crime solving duo, but they work together incredibly well, they bounce off one another so well, how nice to see Parkinson in a lighter drama, he's brilliant.

Meera Syal, such a wonderful, talented actress, nice to see her leading her own show, she's been around for so long, but time has been so kind to her, she's wonderful.

More please.

9/10.

I was a bit worried about watching this as even though I'd been looking forward to it when I first spotted it on IMDB I'd seen some very bad reviews.

However I'm a big fan of both Meera Syal and Craig Parkinson so I ploughed on with episode one regardless.

It was a gentle cosy mystery with some giggle moments. Light hearted and entertaining which is exactly what you want in a cosy mystery.

I do love crime drama and police procedurals but they can be a bit too bloody and disturbing. On the other hand cosy mysteries can be a bit flat so I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

My other half enjoyed this too and he reckons he's more discerning in his tastes than I am (I beg to differ...) Looking forward to watching more.

I love the female lead. She is an amazing actress and brings an entertaining, intellectual and enlightening point of view to the detective genre. I also like the dynamic between she and her son. He's a terrific actor and he plays a realistic character of a young man of that age. A delightful dynamic between the two. I also like that the stories are not predictable. Neither my husband or myself were able to pick out the killer. I like detective Mint too. She brings an emphatic tone to the police. I hope to feel more for the detective inspector.....I sense the writers want us to slowly warm up to him. The show is extremely well written and I am looking forward to more episodes.
