Hunger for Bread

Lu goes undercover at a Slimming club, a spat between rival firms leads to murder.

Another great episode from this very good fourth series. This was very funny, very surprising, and as someone who's been in and out of slimming clubs, it felt very realistic. The antics, competition, false clapping etc, it's all there.

I loved the sibling rivalry that existed between Lu and Cordelia, Tracy-Ann Oberman was excellent, she fitted right in.

Mark Benton seems to be shrinking with each episode, he' definitely lost a fair bit, good on him.

I did chuckle, in one scene Ekow Quartey is slim Jim, and pushing the story's diet narrative, and in the next ad break he's pushing a Big Mac, the irony.

Very good, 9/10.

The jest of the show was basically a dieting club where everyone gets yelled at and humiliated in front of others. I was confused as to Lu's mother passing away and now has a sister. In the episode at the tennis club her mother was alive and well and Lu even said she was a only child and wishes she had a sibling.
