Review: Heading Out - Pets, eh? They're enough to drink

Fortunately, Sue Perkins, she of the endless witty one-liners on The Great British Bake Off, not only stars as Sara, but also writes, which elevates Heading Out to watchable status. OK, it isn't about to blow anyone's mind, but it's blessed with beautifully written, unexpected lines and Perkins's ability to be droll and vulnerable at the same time.

Sue Perkins' Heading Out is a right-on write-off

TV Review: Heading Out (BBC2)

Last night's viewing - Heading Out, BBC2

First impressions weren't bad, though there may be people who don't feel quite the same way about the boldness of introducing your new series with a joke about feline euthanasia.

Strong start for Sue Perkins's coming-out sitcom.

Heading Out review

I chuckled at a few things (the netball Haka, the scene with a sick cat being put down), but things sparked best when Sara met love interest Eve (Shelley Conn) and engaged in silly chit-chat about elves.

Heading Out - Episode 1.1 review

So, with a good plot and characters with potential, Heading Out will no doubt become a staple of my Tuesday nights.
