The Little House

Ruth and Patrick are expecting their first child, after giving birth, Ruth struggles emotionally, and is offered help from her domineering mother in law Elizabeth, whether she wants it or not.

I enjoyed it very much, more so than my fellow reviewers. I liked the story, I loved the acting. It was clever the way that Elizabeth took control, and how powerless Ruth was. She needed to get rid of Patrick at the soonest opportunity.

It starts off well, it builds up to a shocking, dramatic climax, an ending nobody will see coming.

Despite being transmitted over two nights, it's technically a made for TV drama, a format I miss very much. The only option we get now are six parters.

The acting was very good, a very high standard, the best of the group though, Francesca Annis, who proves once again that she really can take on any role.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.
