'Last Tango in Halifax' season 3 finale review
There's nothing tried or tested about Season 3's finale.
Sarah Lewis, Cult Box, 1st February 2015Last Tango in Halifax, series 3 final episode
Last Tango in Halifax, which finished its third series, has travelled a long way from the simple romance of the first series.
Terry Ramsey, The Telegraph, 1st February 2015Meet the couple whose romance mirrors hit TV show
Like Celia and Alan in Last Tango In Halifax, Colin and Patricia Stevens were childhood sweethearts, torn apart by fate.
The Mirror, 31st January 2015Nicola Walker shines in likeable transitional episode
Whilst this wasn't the best episode of this series, I felt it was good to have a relatively calm instalment following weeks of big events.
Unreality TV, 26th January 2015Why Last Tango in Halifax isn't just for old people
Sally Wainwright's BBC One series might centre around a 70-year old couple - but age doesn't matter when the drama is as good as this says Kasia Delgado.

Neither Caroline nor the audience are ready to let go but the story is already moving on.

It's hard to follow up a lesbian wedding, two marriage proposals and the death of a recently betrothed first time mum.
Sarah Lewis, Cult Box, 25th January 2015Last Tango: latest victim of the dead lesbian cliche
The decision of Sally Wainwright to bump off half of the programme's only gay couple is yet more evidence that lesbians in TV exist to be sacrificed for the plot.
Kaite Welsh, The Guardian, 20th January 2015Radio Times review
Caroline has to adapt to her dramatic new family circumstances and she's finding it hard, but for once her mum Celia is kind and sympathetic. Of course, Celia refused to attend her daughter's wedding to Kate, but life ebbs and flows, and grievances can't be nursed for long.
Writer Sally Wainwright is so gifted and assured when it comes to calling out to our emotions: no one is more precise at picking apart the mechanics of relationships, particularly relationships between women. She's blessed with a great cast and there are some scenes tonight between Anne Reid and Sarah Lancashire (Celia and Caroline) that will take away pieces of your heart.
But Last Tango isn't just about a mother and daughter; it's about the trials of a big extended family, including Gillian (Nicola Walker), who's about to take a big leap.

A thankful return to form as we're hit with some believable drama.
