Linda Robson reveals who she thinks the most fanciable man on television is.
Roz Lewis, The Daily Express, 14th February 2015Giggles and family bonding abound as the series draws to a close. Young Garfy's off to a festival, while his mum and her posse are going to a spa. "What are you having done first, your face ironed or your knockers pleated?" quips Sharon as Dorien uses the minibreak as a man-hunting ground. Meanwhile, Tracey gets the results of her cancer tests, which makes for some warm moments. Worth watching just for the look on Lesley Joseph's face when she has to deliver Dorien's more camp lines involving "erotic milestones".
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 12th February 2015An episode of the sitcom that's not so much been revived as zombified, but that has nevertheless proved a ratings winner. Dorien debates Dostoevsky with her book group, while Tracey warns her sons not to get fingered by the filth. As the cast stiffly shout a script that feels as if flair and surprises have been excised by censors, those stories vaguely collide. Pauline Quirke and Lesley Joseph, who have the knack of saying their lines as if they have read and understood them in advance, spark the odd glimmer.
