Nice starter for 10
Epiosde 1 screened last night - Tuesday 3 October
It was a good start with plenty to develop in the further 5 episodes.
Often in these kind of shows where real people play themselves, the real people lack credibility - They appear to act. But here Kirsty Wark and Peter Snow played themselves with the authority one should expect from the original.
Jane Horrocks was excellent and her beleaguered hubby was entirely believable.
There was also an excellent balance between shabby politicians and exposing the job they do as remorselessly difficult. It is to hoped that this balance can be maintained throughout the production.
Interesting that it is billed as comedy when the laughs were few and far between. Not that that is a bad thing.
