The Larkins review
Never mind the all-star cast. Every eye was on the relative unknown, as Sabrina Bartlett took on the mantle of Mariette, the original Darling Bud Of May.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 11th October 2021The Larkins review
Darling Buds Of May reboot is a warm comfort pudding.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 11th October 2021The Larkins review
Bradley Walsh is a perfick Pop in ITV's Darling Buds Of May reboot.
Helen Daly, Radio Times, 10th October 2021The Larkins review
It is the kind of production that the new secretary of state for culture, Nadine "Mad Nad" Dorries would greatly approve of, mainly because it is precisely the kind of opioid atavistic tosh she churns out in her novels. It's a sort of Brexit Television, set in a post-war green and pleasant England that never was and never will be, but for which so many feel an overwhelming nostalgia (and so much so that they're prepared to vote in their millions for a better yesterday).
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 10th October 2021The Larkins review

Ian Hyland, The Mirror, 10th October 2021The Larkins review
ITV remake is the perfick warm hug we desperately need on Sunday nights.
Charlotte Manning, Metro, 10th October 2021The Larkins review
There's nothing 'perfick' about this clumsy remake.
