Press
Frog Stone's comedy-drama concludes with Mim and Fran estranged. Mim's truth-speaking, when she finally gets around to some proper honesty, doesn't much help matters: "You were too fat for the ballet club." Which is a particular shame because Mim has information her exasperated daughter, who returns to her day-to-day life to find herself out of a job, needs to know. Bucket doesn't always quite work but when it finds its rhythm it's very good indeed.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 4th May 2017TV review: Bucket, Episode 4
