Happy Families? Definitely not, they are a family of secrets, lies, deception and hypocrisy, so when seventy year old Vivien falls in love with a man just eighteen months after the death of her husband, her children are worried. It is a very good series, for my money the best ITV have given us for a little while. The best episode is the finale, the unveiling as it were, it's excellent. The storytelling is great, and done in such a way that you simply have to watch the next episode. Terrific cast, all perform superbly, you can't put a pin between Francesca Annis and Imelda Staunton, the pair are terrific. Were left hanging at the end, with a possibility of a second series, I hope it's left at just the one. Very good, 8/10.
