    Huh?

    Weird, very funny and original so why not more? Too original for the BBC?

    Please make more!

    This is so good, funny, clever and well acted. Its so different to anything else on tv and I loved every minute and made 15 minutes of joy for today..but went way too fast. To my dismay I realised that this is just a one off. Hopefully they are making more... PLEASE!!!!!

    Come on Aunty Beeb!! Pick this up IMMEDIATELY!!!

    Having cared for my dad for the last 4 years of his life til his death in 2020, I was a little worried this would be a bit too close to the bone, but oh Ms Pearman, you made me laugh so hard!!

    THANK YOU!

    Not only does this capture the sheer exhaustion of caring for a loved one (with, I assume, Alzheimers??), it shows SUCH promise as a brilliantly funny comedy.

    I want to know what happens!!

    Her powers, the romance with Dean from Kwik Fit!!

    I did not realise this was just the pilot!

    I was GUTTED when I found out (after going slightly nuts trying to find the second episode on my Skybox!) I WANT MORE!!

    What on EARTH are you waiting for, #BBC ??

    THIS is exactly the sort of series we all need right now.

    And all the burned out carers in this country certainly need a laugh, esp after 2 years of added isolation with Covid!

    Please Help us see more

    A 15 minute masterpiece hidden on iplayer! More more please! Hopefully this is a pilot and there is more to follow.

    Where are more episodes? Very Funny

    Just watched the first episode. Totally hooked, only to find it's only one episode!! Gutted.

    Please make more...This is really funny, original and intriguing. Who are the characters, where is the story going?

    Come on BBC where are the rest of the episodes? This can't just be a one off. That would be a travesty.

    Now I have to review with 600 characters, I just floated to the ceiling in despair and I can't see my reflection. I need to know what the cure is Why does this review have to be so long!

    What happens to Nans bum?

    What happens to the pony?

    I can see why this hasn't got too many reviews, because 600 characters for a review is line writing a dissertation .
