BT, 12th March 2019The residents of Mount Pleasant open the doors of their pristine northern houses for a second series of suburban shenanigans. Shelley's getting a divorce, Denise has got a baby and the cul-de-sac is about to get a hot new neighbour in the shape of Robson Green. And Britain's Got Talent's tiny dancer George Sampson graduates to his first role in the opening episode. It's gentle-enough stuff, populated by the best actors the genre has to offer - Sally Lindsay, Angela Griffin and Bobby Ball are among the likable faces.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 21st August 2012We're heading back up to Manchester this week for the second series of foul-mouthed but fun comedy drama Mount Pleasant, which has found a new home on Sky Living. Northern treasures Sally Lindsay, Daniel Ryan, Bobby Ball and Angela Griffin are all back on board, while the episode also welcomes Casualty's Claire Goose (remember her?) as a troublesome new friend of Lisa's (Lindsay) and Britain's Got Talent imp George Sampson as Bianca's (Sian Reeves) stepson Gary. If you've got nowt to do on Wednesday, stick on a brew, get in some scran and have a buzz to Mount Pleasant (did we get that right, Manchester?).
Daniel Sperling, Digital Spy, 19th August 2012Sarah Hooper's series about the perky goings on in a recession-untroubled Mancunian suburb is billed as comedy drama, as if to suggest you're getting two things for the price of one, but in truth it's short on both, unless you count hackneyed sexual intrigue as drama and affected, sub-Coronation Street dialogue as comedy. It's comfort telly, relying on a cast of familiar faces including Pauline Collins, Tommy Ball, Angela Griffin and Sally Lindsay as Lisa, whose over-indulgent lunches lead to speculation that she is pregnant.
