Hoorah and thank goodness, Last Tango in Halifax is back! It’s been the best part of the worst twelve months for many people around the world, and not least of all for Caroline in Harrogate. Left holding the baby and mourning the loss of her wife Kate, Caroline makes some drastic moves by packing her … >
It’s the final week for the residents and visitors of Moybeg. With last week’s episode promising us plenty of drama, tension and confrontation at the final leg, I was excited to see how Barry Devlin would fit so much in to this final episode now that he’s finally woken this sleep village. It’s Christmas and … >
There’s a breath of fresh air in Moybeg this week with the arrival of Rose’s glamourous, lively and ‘troubled’ sister, Vera (Fiona Button). The lady in red appears and the world lights up.

With information regarding the killing being thin on the ground, Jo … >
Mackenzie Crook’s ‘Pete’ has been spotted fleetingly in background scenes over the past four episodes of Ordinary Lies, but this week he’s centre stage.
