Love, Lies and Records

Two stars rather than one, only because of the lovely Ashley Jensen, who deserves far better than this politically correct garbage. And dear Rebecca Front - what on earth are you doing taking part in this right-on turn-off? Shudderingly dreadful.

Nothing surprises me in this life anymore and I thought this was a light hearted but possible look at what could happen in any office not just registration. It was great and let's have a second series.

I hope they would make the second season. Where can we find out about it?

I would never have thought that working in the Births, deaths and marriages department in Leeds would be all that glamorous or exciting. Kay Mellor's television series was rather proof of this.

Kate (Ashley Jensen) finds herself balancing a hectic family life with sulky teenage kids, a partner who is a cop and a secret. An affair with a work colleague that was caught on cctv. She also has heavy responsibilities at work where she is admired apart from one token villainess who is trying to blackmail her by wanting to expose her drunken infidelity.

Kate copes with the newly bereaved, fake wedding immigration scams, gay marriages, babies surviving the odds and Freddie Flintoff making his acting debut and somehow staying sober.

It was a load of unbelievable tosh.

Really thought this would have been top rate but, Man, was I disappointed. The script seems to revolve around so many coincidences that it becomes totally unbelievable. The dialogue is trite, and the script so badly written, that it could have come out of a high school drama club. The final episode is so cheesy and desperate to find a happy ending. Loose ends are all neatly tied up and the viewer is glad to see the back end of all the characters.
