The main storyline was rather uncomfortable at times. It was pretty clear what was happening and that Douglas's attempts to save a failing marriage was going to be in vain. Brattish son, Albie, was no help at all. He is too self centred. I always struggle with flashbacks where the central actors are different although Iain De Caestecker did a very good take on a young Tom Hollander. Who was outstanding was Sofie Grabol (Sarah Lund in the Danish series The Killing). She managed to convey all her inner emotions and feelings without having to say anything specific in the dialogue with Douglas. We viewers knew what was happening and the drama was always lifted when she was on screen. Another winner was the locations. It was a pretty good travelogue without all the drama. This was billed as a comedy ... really? There was nothing amusing about it.

After watching the last episode I spent time on planning some changes to how I interact with my own boy. It was inspiring. The actors couldn't have done a better job playing their characters. Loved it!

A family have reached a point where they're no longer functioning as a unit, the solution, a holiday across Europe.

A cracker, this four part drama is one of the best offerings to come from the BBC for a long time. It's funny, poignant, moving and all around great drama.

I saw the trailers, expected it to go in a certain way, it doesn't, half way through it goes into a totally different direction.

You have to wait until the very end to learn if Douglas and Connie stick together. You'll get all of the pieces from past and present, and be able to understand why they end up in such a mess.

Part four is out of this world, one of the most moving things I've seen for some time.

Best of all, the acting, out of this world, Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves are out of this world, a true chemistry between them.

Bravo BBC, cast, all concerned, wonderful, 9/10.

Very well done and enjoyable but very depressing. Makes you want to question your own marriage.

This very well written mini series demands parents of a certain age and relationship longevity to hold a very real mirror to themselves and ask some very real but widely avoided questions. This heart warming and cringworthy just shows that "fairytale endings" are not the norm and are very removed from what most people expect. Loved it
