Love, Lies and Records

I would never have thought that working in the Births, deaths and marriages department in Leeds would be all that glamorous or exciting. Kay Mellor's television series was rather proof of this.

Kate (Ashley Jensen) finds herself balancing a hectic family life with sulky teenage kids, a partner who is a cop and a secret. An affair with a work colleague that was caught on cctv. She also has heavy responsibilities at work where she is admired apart from one token villainess who is trying to blackmail her by wanting to expose her drunken infidelity.

Kate copes with the newly bereaved, fake wedding immigration scams, gay marriages, babies surviving the odds and Freddie Flintoff making his acting debut and somehow staying sober.

It was a load of unbelievable tosh.

Charming, humorous and sad in spots but obviously pushed hard towards a leftist agenda. A lost opportunity

I hope they would make the second season. Where can we find out about it?

Wasn't sure at first but once it got started I really loved this show. Ashley Jenson plays this part so well.

Two stars rather than one, only because of the lovely Ashley Jensen, who deserves far better than this politically correct garbage. And dear Rebecca Front - what on earth are you doing taking part in this right-on turn-off? Shudderingly dreadful.
