DCI Burton is back on the job, investigating a double murder at a health spa, he is assisted by caterer Mrs Sidhu, who begins her own investigation.
I enjoyed it, very light, easy viewing, I tend to separate drama out into gritty, and Sunday teatime, this is very much the latter, and there's definitely a place for it.
I liked that Burton was irritated by her, and was dismissive and tried to get rid of her, the two leads worked very well together.
Mrs Sidhu is a fun character, she's nosy, intelligent, drives like a crazy person, and needs to seriously give her son some life lessons.
Wonderful to see Meera Syal leading a drama, she's been at the forefront of British drama for decades, I can't remember when she's played a title character, she should have, hopefully this is the start of something good. How on Earth can Meera be 62!!! Such a beautiful, wonderful, talented lady, I adore her.
How nice to see Craig Parkinson appearing in a lighter drama, I'm a real fan of his, but he's normally in the heavier, darker stuff, it made a refreshing change to see him in something like this.
Slough is well known for David Brent, I'm not sure Mrs Sidhu is going to have the same impact, which is a shame, this was a fine start.
8/10.
