This is an absolutely wonderful BBC TV series, filled with warmth, drama, comedy and, most of all, humanity. Members of the large ensemble cast are all superb, creating fully developed characters you come to understand and cherish. The actors also get many opportunities to display their versatility, in drama, comedy, even lovely singing and dance. Containing 40 episodes, the series maintains a high level of quality throughout, and grows richer as it moves along. Some of the finest episodes are in Season 3. This series is addictive, and we have stayed up till 3 A.M. to watch several episodes at a time. Some of the plot lines have been done before, but they are developed with a different vision that makes them fresh. Yes, this is feel-good television, but with the fine writing and excellent acting it has been lifted to high art.
