8/10

A very enjoyable series.

A series of one of dramas transmitted by The BBC back in the early 2000's, going out late in the afternoon.

A really varied series, one that was unfortunately ever released commercially on DVD, if ever you get a chance to watch them, on whatever format, I would recommend you to.

Some were a bit silly, and really did feel like light, somewhat dull viewing, but some of them were surprisingly good, with a lot of depth.

The standout episodes for me, were coming up for Air, and The Singing Cactus.

If you're a fan of Moving on, they're along the same lines. Think Play for the Day, watered down for afternoon viewing.

Enjoyable, a missed series, 8/10.
