Did anyone watch the first episode last Wednesday? I thought it was brilliant. I can`t wait to watch the other 4 eps.
I was a huge fan of the film 'Buster' with Phil Collins and Julie Walters. In fact its been one of my fave for the past 20 years, and I still watch it if it comes on telly even though I have the DVD (and VHS).
