'Last Tango in Halifax' season 3 episode 3 review

Last Tango in Halifax plunged straight in to the lesbian wedding of the year, with a twist on the old clichéd 'will they/ won't they' conundrum.

Radio Times review

Newlyweds Caroline and Kate are so happy together, even Celia's small-mindedness can't dent their celebrations.

But of course, life has a nasty way of upsetting everyone's plans; Celia is increasingly stubborn while Alan, the old softie, is caught between mother and daughter, and just can't get it right. Besides, he has problems enough of his own with his unforgiving wife.

Sally Wainwright's drama treads into some dark territory as both families struggle to deal with the unwelcome and the unexpected. But there are shocks around the corner that will test everyone. It's one of Wainwright's great talents, making sure we are comfortable thinking we know how it's all going to work out, then she throws a bucket of cold water at us, leaving us shivering and wailing, "Why did she do that?"

Alison Graham, Radio Times, 11th January 2015

Is Sally Wainwright's series getting too dramatic?

This week viewers were plunged from the heights of joy into the depths of despair all in the space of an hour.

Neela Debnath, The Independent, 11th January 2015

Sarah Lancashire shines in a fantastic instalment!

When series three of Last Tango in Halifax first started I definitely had my reservations especially in regards to the character of Alan's long-lost son Gary. However, Sally Wainwright's script has taken the story into a whole direction.
