Mistresses

Trudi has recently started a new relationship with Richard who she meets on the school-run, but six years after she lost her husband in 9-11 she still can't let go and believe he is dead. Lots of twist and turns with Trudi and a surprise storyline so I don't want to give any of that way. Trudi has played roles in About A Boy and The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. Siobhan has a lot of secrets and although lovingly married to Hari, they are devestated to find out that Hari is unable to have children. So a pregnancy is certainly a shock, and obviously not Hari's. Baby Elsa soon follows and although they appear a happy family, appearances can be deceptive. ...  Read the complete review

This is an English version of sex and the city, with slightly less nudity but more infidelity. It's based around 4 british women, all living in the same area (filmed in Bristol), but all with very different lives. You've got the career women and then the stay at home mum.

This has now been running for 2 series, 6 episodes in each. It started off really well, with a few twists and turns so you didn't know ...  Read the complete review

Technically, Mistresses should be awful. The plot lines are pretty thin. For much of the series, none of the main protagonists are even mistresses. It's pretty, glossy, frothy drama. And yet it's strangely engaging. For anybody who missed the first season, aired on BBC1 in early 2008, here's a brief summary of what happened. Trudi (Sharon Small - The Inspector Lynley Mysteries) was a single mother of two daughters. Her husband of many years was reported dead in the 9/11 tragedy and she was sent a cheque of compensation. A woman claiming to have had a lovechild with him then turned up on Trudi's door asking for a segment of the compensation cash. Trudi did a ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of the best series dramas that i have seen in a long time the BBC should be proud of themselves.
