Steven MacKenzie, The Big Issue, 13th February 2014Love is blind - at times in tonight's episode, quite literally. Unseen for years, Sharon's feckless husband Chris turns up on her doorstep. He wants a divorce, not on principle something Sharon objects to; although on meeting his intended - the charming, blind Angie - she is given pause for reflection.
