It's depressingly significant that Kate Buffery is not credited here as one of the "stars". I only started watching a vintage series which I assumed would be very dated, because of her presence.
I first came across her in the memorable drama series Wish Me Luck, and was bowled over by her - not just one of the most beautiful women the small screen has ever seen, but a superb actress who sadly seems never to have won the acclaim that was her due.
She's great in this - absolutely convincing. She carries the series which becomes much more ordinary after her departure - then increasingly strident and silly.

An excellent film let down, for me, by the ending. Genuinely affecting, as the sobs from the row behind me bore witness, and I was also reaching for a tissue at the over-the-sea-to-Skye scene which I assumed brought the story to a close - and should have done. I really hated the unexpected coda.
