I had enjoyed this series right up until the final episode. The last episode was very disappointing,almost felt like it was put together after the writers had run out of ideas. Some great actors. If the series had been wrapped up better I would have definitely scored the series higher

It's silly but its actors are having such fun......

The most memorable item in this hyped up series was the incriminating Advertising board that went round the city in an attempt to disgrace the naughty husband, Wes. Actually Wes had such a naughty gleam in his eye that anyone with sense would run off with him. The singing in the shower? We all do that, I enjoyed this series and took it for what it is, a piece of diversion on a worknight, and Sue Johnston and Polly Walker are always great people to watch anyway. So take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy, that's good in these hard times.
In want to love it!

So this programme has me stumped. I want to love it and it could be great if it wasn't for the stupied comedy/musical out of place scene they put into each episode. Who's idea was that and why did nobody stop them. I do enjoy the story lines and the cast, just leave the silly at the door and it would be a great series.
for Robson Green & Polly Walker

A soap melodrama, maybe 3 star.
Robson Green & Polly Walker bring it up.
Dishy James Murray, (Wes isunrealistic dog) is 45- could hardly be married for 30 years to 53 y.o. beautiful Polly, Bel. Her real life husband is 10 years younger. They make men younger all the time with too young women. as much as 20-25 years. so OK if he plays 55- she could hardly be in her 40s if married 30 years.

Soapy nonsense

Inconsistent, unbelievable characters who act illogically and who, as such, are totally unlikeable or just plain stupid.
Any drama requires the viewer to feel some sympathy/empathy towards one character at the very least. Good luck finding one here!
Who writes this rubbish
mocamp-7992530 August 2018
Started off reasonable, but went down hill quickly. Are we supposed to believe that Wes, (who must be all of 35 in real life) would have been married to Bel for 30 years, he looked young enough to be son! If such a script can be approved by the BBC then god help us. No you don't have to watch it, but come it was poor, not the casts fault, it's a job but not good for their credibility. Let's hope that was the end of it, but if there is another series please please please, cut the mad women on a scooter scenes. Sue, you are far too good for such rubbish!!!
Enjoyable, easy to watch

Truly diabolical.
Birminghamukengland30 August 2018
I sadly watched all of the series and will never get that time back.
The storyline is laughable with a total and utter disconnect from reality and the emotional responses from the characters were from some alien planet.
What was the bursting into song about?
It's so bad I can't put it into words.
Also when the actors are being filmed in HD please can they attend to their facial hair.
Old Greene had a mini toupee growing out of his ears and Wes had more hairs growing out of the front top area of his nose than a cat has whiskers. It's really gross as I have a 65 inch screen.
Don't bother with this on catch up.

Outstanding Acting and Storylines

Age before beauty is unlike your normal BBC Dramas. It had a positive vibe whilst having gripping storylines which is achieved as a result of fantastic acting. Though it can be slightly predictable and cheesy at times it is unlike anything you'll ever watch and I highly recommend it!
Watch If Nothing Else is On

Awful Awful Awful
BeeCeeMT9 September 2019
This is one of the worst shows I have ever watched & I'm old. Robson Green is such a talented actor but I can't believe he signed on for this. The plot is completely unintelligible and there is not one likeable/sympathetic character in the whole show. Skip it!
Please..

Absolutely loved it!

Easy enough watch

Loved it!

Yes it's absurd, yes it's a bit cheesy and predictable in places but I can say from personal experience that this is how crazy real life can be - aside the bursting into song (although I do a mean Bonnie Tyler tribute in the shower).
It was an enjoyably gripping series, each character had the gritty undertones of reality, ingenious links and malicious intent made for a great watch - really hope there is a season 2!
Terrible
salttoearth22 October 2018
I can't believe this series all these great actors and actresses in this series was terrible it started off great and I actually wanted Teddy to get her in the end and what really made me mad is his son and his mama didn't mind taking Teddy's money all their life I hate people who are so self righteous and her daughter yeah I was snatched her ball head and beat her head into the wall if she ever talk to me like that such disrespect this is the first British show I have not liked it sucked it sucked
Is their a worse word i can use than rubbish?
