TV review, Mum, episode 2, BBC2
If you haven't seen Mum catch the two episodes so far on iPlayer and make an appointment to view from this Friday. Don't say I didn't tip you off.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th May 2016It's February, and Cathy's first Valentine's Day since the death of her husband. Not wanting her to be alone, her brother Derek arrives, much to the chagrin of his partner, the spiteful tact-vacuum Pauline, who obviously had something a bit more spiffy in mind and makes sure everyone knows it. Lovelorn Michael also pitches up for the same reason, and finds Cathy in possession of a mystery Valentine's card. It's subtly brilliant work from writer Stefan Golaszewski.
