9/10
Wonderful, entertaining series.
1 January 2024
Mr Sidhu is a wonderful chef, and a good businesswoman, but her talents run deeper, solving murders to be precise. She teams up with the reluctant DCI Burton, and helps him solve various crimes.

A truly wonderful, refreshing and intriguing set of mysteries, if you haven't already check out the various radio plays that were done some years ago, well worth a listen.

Cosy, evening telly, nothing heavy, no bad language, no gore, just good old fashioned murder. Each episode features a level of humour, the squabbling between Mrs Sidhu and Burton is joyful.

Aside from her relationship with Burton, I am loving how she interacts with her son, Tez, he's a good lad at heart, but a bit lazy, a bit of a waster.

I enjoyed each of the four mysteries, my only hope is that a second series is commissioned, as yet there's no news.

I would never have pictures Meera Syal and Craig Parkinson as a crime solving duo, but they work together incredibly well, they bounce off one another so well, how nice to see Parkinson in a lighter drama, he's brilliant.

Meera Syal, such a wonderful, talented actress, nice to see her leading her own show, she's been around for so long, but time has been so kind to her, she's wonderful.

More please.

9/10.
